I was driving home tonight from taking the kid out trick or treating and I heard a couple familiar voices on the police scanner. It was the train crew in town dropping some cars off. I figured the crew would have recognized my car, but based on the radio traffic they didn’t. From listening to them, I knew they were going to start moving so I stopped at the railroad crossing. Engineer gets on the radio “some stupid guy is stopped at the crossing and the lights aren’t even going”. I busted out laughing and kept waiting. As the train went over the crossing I blew my horn a few times. You could hear it echoing through the railroads radio and back through my police scanner. After they cleared the crossing I proceeded over the crossing and continued home. The engineer said he had never heard anything like that and the conductor said “youtube has all sorts of video’s with train horns mounted on cars”. I got a real good laugh out of it all. I even got the audio recorded, but no way to upload MP3’s.
lol how do you not know what it was?!
thats great.
I was pacing a coal drag with two AC 44’s on the point and gave the engineer a couple toots…He responded a good blast or two and we got into a blast contest for nearly 1/2 a mile!LOVE IT!
