When the engineer is blowing his horn at 3am he’s thinking, “I sure hope that exhausted guy coming home in the middle of night from his night shift job hears this and doesn’t blow through the crossing because he’s half asleep.”

Then why does he do it at 4pm as well? Some blow the horn appropriately, the once or twice approaching an intersection… There’s no fucking reason to hold a 180db horn for a 3 mile stretch in the middle of a city.

I’ve talked to an engineer. If you plowed your train through a van with a mother and child in it you would make sure everyone knew you were coming.
