Train Horns.
 

:MOJE_whot:Does anyone have information on possible legal action taken against the rail road over the constant train horn blasts along the 301 corridor that keep people awake all hours of the day?

Haha. You are funny!

Thats like buying next to the Airport and then complaining about the noise.

horns
 

just call main office of CSX RR Lines,im sure they will stop the horns for you...:boom:

Trains
 

Buyer Beware. Did they just build the railroad? Get a good pair of earplugs.

Unfortunately the train was there before you. There are more and more intersections in the area and they must blow.

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 !!!!!!

Trains are legally required to blow their horns in certain situations, such as when approaching a road crossing.

Go watch the movie "My Cousin Vinny"...that'll give you some insight on the trains pulling into town

remember this was cow county before TV started buying up the land ....just saying

So, you passed on the sink holes and opted for the train horns......

We lived in Calumet Grove for a year before moving to our current house. (Moved to be closer to my sister, not because of the trains.) I actually liked hearing the trains at night. (Never noticed them during the day.) I found it soothing. Different strokes ...

A new friend of mine manages that train depot. I’ll put in a request for them to be quiet.

Well OP as long as it’s all hours of the day, not restricted to just after the sun goes down:a040:

Sound proof windows? But if you have a frame house it might not make much difference.

My first flight out of John Wayne Airport in SoCal about 30 years ago, was quite the experience. After feeling like we were going straight up at takeoff, all of a sudden the engines lost power. I would swear we were going to crash. It turned out though, that what was happening was because of a local noise ordinance. I've since become used to flying out of there - kind of.

Steep takeoffs land JWA on ‘scariest airports’ list – Orange County Register

You feel the nose lifting up, and up, and up. Air carriers leave John Wayne at an angle of between 20 and 25 degrees, according to several accounts. That’s about twice as steep as the departure from other airports, often around 10 to 15 degrees.

Shortly after takeoff, you might feel a sudden sinking sensation. The pilot has just cut engine power by up to 15 percent, from the full blast of takeoff to the steady drive of the climb.

When they complete the industrial park in Coleman/Sumterville there will be a lot more trains coming in and out of the terminal so better get used to it.

I flew out of John Wayne at least twice a month for almost thirty years. The first time shook me up, too. They almost aways announced what would happen but forgot to do so every once in a while which freaked out some first timers taking off from SNA.

For a few years I owned a house under the flight path and had to put telephone conversations on hold when a plane was taking off overhead. Sold that house!

Although their flight paths are strictly controlled and pilots are supposed to get well out over the Pacific before they turn the plane some pilots cheat. People can call and complain. GA Noise Abatement | John Wayne Airport, Orange County (SNA), Located in Southern California - official website

Or rock quarry, rifle range, drag strip, or? I live 3 miles off tracks by way crow flies. Most of time I don’t notice them. On evenings with Southwest West breeze they are more loud.

TOTV Talk Host, one of the originators of this forum, lived very close to the CSX track and complained mightily about the noise. He finally moved farther south in Florida.

what>????

After living 8 miles ATCF from a major international airport for 60+ years and directly in the flight path 80% of the time a train whistle would be most relaxing! It's so weird here with no low flying aircraft except for the occasional private plane.

Or buying next to the Turnpike......

theres always ambien, rx medical marijuana
or some johnny walker blue.

You mean the trains that the salespeople should of told you about when you bout the property?

Yes! MOVE! I’m pretty sure the railroad was there when you bought your house. Legal action? Surely you jest.

If you looked at the house it’s YOUR responsibility to check everything out, not the seller. Geez, what’s wrong with people

Love train sounds, but I wouldn't want to live by the track.

We live close to Mulberry..2 miles from the RR...purrrfect

Easy fix. Call the powers to be and they will have the horns stopped.

Wtf
 

Who in their right mind would bring up the issue of train horns? Thats what they do when they come to a crossing. How and when they blow is controlled by the government

Ask yourself who was here first, you or the railroad. If it was you then you might have a viable complaint. However if it was the railroad then sit back and enjoy the sounds of the American economy working to bring the many things you enjoy.

Seriously?????
 

Seriously?????????? 😂🤣😂🤣

The railroads have always had enormous power in our country. Probably too much power. I don't think any lawyer would want to challenge the railroads in court.

I agree those pesky outside noises always interrupt my nap 🤣

This interesting.

As The Band sang around 1970 in their song “Where Do We Go From Here?”:

Did you hear about the railroad going under
How it seems its days are numbered on the board
And I feel sad about the railroad and it's no wonder
It would run right by my door
I can't hear it anymore
How can you get to sleep when the whistle don't moan?

How can you get to sleep when the whistle don’t blow?

This is interesting. Train Rules and signals.

The Train Horn Rule and Quiet Zones | FRA

If you buy a house without due diligence, then either you should have your children or guardian, help you make decisions, instead of blaming it on a sales rep for your inability to invest your money wisely.

Well while we are at it. Police cars, fire engines and ambulances should not use sirens when they are going to an emergency. Stop the horn blowing on trains. LOL some people are so funny. Really....Where do people come up with these ideas.
