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.....
All trains are required to signal their approach to public crossings with 2 long, 1 short and 1 long blast of their horns regardless of time. If this is what you heard, it was a train approaching a crossing. Weather conditions can greatly affect the distance sound travels.
