are you sick and tired of rude train engineers who blow those blasted horns at all hours of the night?

They don't blow them only when needed, they blow them every 1/2 block, all day and all night. It is 3:30am, here, right now. In the last 2 hours, there have been 11 trains, and they can be heard for up to 20 min. each time.

sorry, e. sillery, no one should have to move. horn blowers are disrespectful and egotistical.

also, if this is the way you feel, you should be reported to the railroad commission.

I used to live right next to train tracks.
The Rail Roads, due to how loud their horns are, are under immense pressure to only use the horns when needed.
They are not rude, they are blowing them because they are required to. I forget how far from a crossing they have to begin, but it is a mile or more. Also stations or other places people can cross the tracks.
There are signs posted along the tracks that tell the engineer when to blow the horn.
If you don't want to move away, look into getting the outside of the house sound proofed.
They are friggin loud.

I hear them but I don't hear them. In movie "Blues Brothers," "How often does that train go by? Oh, so often you want even notice it." Sometimes when I can't sleep at night I do hear them but I have a relative who is an engineer so I don't get mad. Here comes one now. 4:24 AM.

and I thought my landlord was the only one who covered the tracks with a tarp when I came to look at the property-or did you think they were abandoned
