Sounding the horn as required by the operating rules of the company and regulating laws that cover road crossings. I don't expect everyone to know the laws but watch or don't watch mute or don't mute. There are 5 road crossings in close proximity in that town and they each require 2 long sounds 1 short followed by 1 long there are several ways to accomplish this but there is only one prescribed way according to rules and that is what I did.

My family lived in a house beside a line of train tracks. The house was a distance away from the tracks with a train that came by once or twice a day. One day in the house we felt the familiar rumbling of the nearby train. Our gray cat was afraid of nothing except the rumbling floor. That sent her under the bed shivering. This time the rumbling didn't pass. We went outside to investigate. The train was stopped beside our home and idling, rumbling everything. The engineers from the train walked through our yard to our house. They asked nicely if they could have some pears from our pear tree. I was like "What?", what pear tree? Then I remembered that though we had apple orchards and multiple pecan trees we only had one lone pear tree at the far edge of our property by the train tracks. I had simply forgotten about it. We didn't typically harvest the pears. We told the engineers that they could have the pears. They were very happy. Later on the engineers brought us a basket of fruits and items. They were thanking us for the pears. It occurred to me that though the pear tree was pretty insignificant on our property, it had enough influence to literally stop a whole freight train in its tracks.

In the 1950's two of my relatives were killed at an uncontrolled crossing where it was determined that the train had not sounded its horn. Many laws rules today are in place because of accidents like that one, and they save lives when people are smart enough to understand it is not a nuisance, but a life-saving mechanism.

@z00h 3 года назад

Meanwhile outside of murica - could it be that Rickie's relatives were killed at an uncontrolled crossing because they didn't treat it with upmost respect like we do here in the 2nd and 3rd world countries (murica being the only 1st world country, since they have the best lawyers). Murica - no you idiot it was someone else's fault! It always is! (careful this hot beverage that you'd just been served can be hot).

@kieranhendy 3 года назад

Meanwhile in the UK the train doesn’t get cleared to the crossing until the barriers are down by the automated system. Not all crossings have the need to use the horn either and the ones that do are a little beep rather than the constant screaming you get in America. Also our crossings are being phased out but the ones we still have are equipped with all kinds of sensors to lift the barriers etc. If it detects a car or person inside the crossing

Good job Mike. I was a conductor, (started in signal) most of my career, retired now. Foamers don't realize what a difficult job train crews have. Just the noise alone is horrible, trying to hear the radio, dispatchers, yard masters, switching crews... The squealing, static engine hum horn etc.... Then the rules rules rules. Then the signals, switches, slow orders, cutting out cars switching. The extra board. Most of these new or wanna be guys don't realize it could take 20 years to get off the extra board and a regular job. Then you can still get bumped. They don't see the all hours calls day and night, thehours of paperwork you gotta fill out. These videos usually only show a engineer at the console on a sunny day.... They never show 3am stuck at a triple red for 4hours for no reason.. If they only knew

Looks like a fun job but a friend of my father works as an engineer for CSX. Says he’s home for sometimes only 12 hours an back for 36. Lots of time away from family. He also said you can forget holidays off too. It’s a well paying job but it’s very mentally stressful. Especially if God forbid someone try’s to take their own life on the tracks an you’re in the engineers seat. Happened to him only once but it really takes a toll on your mental stability. Thinking it was your fault but knowing there was nothing you could do to slow that train down fast enough. Still I would love to drive one of these steel slugs!

Locomotive Engineer Mike Barnett:. I was watching this and it took a minute but I realized that this was my hometown. I was surprised. I'd never seen it from that perspective before. I'm listening to him talking about the five crossings and chuckle a bit because there used to be eight crossings from where this video starts and there was another after the last crossing shown here. They put up the first of three bridges over the tracks starting in 1979. The last bridge which was put up, the city and the state made some kind of deal that if the city would take up the that last crossing the state would allow for something the city wanted in that area. The first crossing I mentioned above that no longer exist was a crossing through the whole rail yard. You had to cross about 12 tracks. My sister as a very young girl in the 1960's was on her way to school and saw a very bad accident where a train crushed a car crossing those tracks. She said she looked but wished that she had not. She didn't realize it at the time that she knew some of those people. It was a good thing when they built that bridge over the tracks to get rid of that really dangerous crossing. By the way that city is Cartersville, Ga.

Thank you for the ride Locomotive Engineer Mike Barnett. When we bought our house that is fairly close to crossings, I looked up the horn regs in the CFRs. Yep, 2 longs, a short, and 1 long. As long as that standard pattern, it can almost be comforting. Will be checking out your channel.

@Brian-kl1zu 23 дня назад

Some engineers wait until they're almost on top of the crossing--Before they even get to the short blast. Tch tch. They delay far too long before beginning the 2l/s/l. It should be sounded a minimum 1/4 mile; or twenty seconds before the crossing; repeated as often as necessary. The train speed determines the start/spacing. At speeds over 60 mph; an engineer friend would start sounding the horn a few hundred feet before reaching the "W" (whistle/warning) post. I rode many miles w/ him on the mainline; "back in the day." (Back in the mid-1970s; usually on an FP9A/passenger service.) Fondly; I remember it like it was yesterday. Posted on the speedometer: "The maximum operating speed of this locomotive is 89 mph." We almost nailed a dump truck at 80 mph. He was travelling on a country road, and not slowing. Blasting the horn repeatedly; the guy (almost literally) did a right angle turn into the grass; just moments before we blew past him. Whew!! That's one reason why non-authorized people are not allowed to ride the headend. I worked for the railroad during summers, and got to know several enginemen. My many long distance headend rides wouldn't happen today. Yes; I blew the horn for every level crossing. Guess that's the reason why I notice the engineers who almost treat it like an option, and wait too long.

So cool to see how it is done from the inside, I’ve been fascinated with trains forever. You’ve earned a sub.

My whole life in and around last 17 years for me. I hear the bell too....the horn. Even on vacation. 👍🏻

Nice job! What used to scare me when I was an engineer were the tank trucks coming up to the crossings and hoping they wouldn't try to beat it across! It was pretty common working in areas with refineries close by.

I don’t know shit about trains but they blow me away. I would love to watch a run from this view start to finish. Even if it goes for 24 hours I’d watch the lot no pauses I watch these videos and I am honestly tempted to quit my job and start a new career as a freight train driver. So cool!
