Train horns mark 9/11 moment on Sunday 9/11/11

The Napa Valley Wine Train sounded their air horns of all five of its locomotives at 10 a.m. on Sunday to mark the nation’s observance of the 10-year anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks.

The engines were be stationed in the rail yard at 801 8th St., across from downtown, Wine Train officials said.
Also participating was Greg Hayes, a train horn and steam whistle enthusiast.

Wine Train noted that the U.S. Senate has passed a resolution asking people and institutions to observe a moment of remembrance lasting for one minute beginning at 10 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time.

The resolution suggests stopping work and ringing bells and whistles.

It was a lot of fun, the horns from all 5 locomotives plus me could be heard throughout the entire town of Napa.
