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.

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.
