What is going on?? The people who live even closer to those tracks must be going nuts over this.
Chime in if you heard that too.....

Ahhhh, the sound of my people. After 25 years as a railroader and 17 as an engineer I try to be very aware of where the nearest railroad crossing or yard is when buying a home. I even called the Town Hall Office near our NC hame to see how often the train runs through town.
The 3 to 4 minutes thing if accurate, makes me think it was a horn kit. No reason for a train to sound a horn that long unless it was a malfunction.
