Aint a Train Supposed Blow Its Whistle let ya know

[Uncle Birchy]

I ran up to the store on side streets is a "Rail-Road" track.

The hopper train did not blow its horn and the crossing is just lights and a sign.

Had I not heard the train coming felt the vibration on the ground I couldve been a "Gonner"..

No Train Whistle no Warning

If you are at a marked and gated grade, there is no requirement for him to blow the horn. There are many "No Blow Zones" everywhere. If the grade is unguarded, he is required to blow the horn 5 times. It's the universal signal. 5 times of the horn indicates danger for boats, bridges and trains. You must yield the right of way because they can't just stop like you can.
