If you look at Google Maps, you can see that along 301, from 42 all the way down to Coleman, there are a LOT of small farm roads that cross the tracks. Only the major East-West roads have gates and flashing lights. So the train is going to have to use the horn at each of those road crossing to warn vehicles that a train is coming. Unfortunately that is a lot of horns whenever a train goes by, but be thankful we don't have to pay to install gates and lights at each of those crossings !!!!!!
