I have to share this story cause to me it was hilarious, today i was in town doin some rat killin and im headin through town at roughly 60 mph and i happen to see guys on the tracks workin, i looked over at the gauge and it read 190psi, lol i said this should get there attention, but before i say anything these guys know they are clear of any railway traffic so they know their safe, until i pass by and give my k6 a good 30lb toot and two guys damn near cartwheel off the tracks and the rest scattered like flies, i laughed so hard know they just had the poop scared out of em and they had been properly introduced to the k6la.
Yeah probably not going to get much good feedback on this one…
lol i wouldnt do this
Yeah…I strongly recommend NOT using a train horn near train tracks, especially when there are people working on them. If workers are working on a train that’s stopped on the tracks, the wrong signal could get them injured or killed, as they sometimes use the train’s horn for communication. One of the many reasons I went with the Shockers instead of the K*LA.
Me personally, I would not honk it at rail road workers, but instead, honk it when people are walking on the train tracks really slow. A lot of people around here walk on the train tracks or ride their dirt bikes on the train tracks, Not a smart thing to do, but people do it anyways.
Yeah not funny.
That’s a real Richard move. Take it from a railroad employee. Track workers have close calls all the time. poop like that is not taken lightly.
I said d I c k not richard
Welcome to the forum. The server here automatically changes some expletives.
At times you could be excused for thinking this a baking forum… there’s a heck of a lot of talk about ovens on here
Agreed. This not a good thing to do. This kinda thing gives us all a bad name. We don’t want more laws/restrictions/enforcement… RIGHT???
I agree, I never use them around railway workers, as mentioned it could cause injury or get someone killed. Now if it’s clearly only kids trespassing that’s a different story, they deserve to have the poop scared outta them, HOPEFULLY they think twice before doing it again. I have however compared mine side by side with yard engines at work
Side story time
Just the other day working in the yard I was pulling about 20 auto-racks around a curve and there stands a group of teens, I layed on the horn and full train brake to stop (was only going about 7mph but they were less than 300ft away), man they scattered quick. Was just glad I didn’t hit them. I know many engineers though that have splattered people who trespass though… Doesn’t really make for a good day…
