Springfield Ohio Weird Train Horns On Poles & Worst Sounds Ever! Female Engineer Turns Train On Wye

[@KevinClark-nl3rq]

Directed 'at' the cars and trucks for driverless features and automated interaction, because otherwise, there is no Earthly way that is an improvement. And, if I was the engineer I'd let a horn blast off just to remind them trains have horns for a reason.

[@loriemonroe76]

It’s an oddity sound to capture the drivers attention and if driving with windows up u can still hear it.

[@swaffdog6521]

The red X indicates to the train crew the crossing uses an automated horn system. If they are flashing (as they are in the video), the train crew knows to not sound their horn. If the red X is solid (not flashing) or not on at all, they need to use their horn or have a flagman guard the crossing as the gates and automated horns are malfunctioning or there is a power outage affecting that particular grade crossing.

The trains in my part of Ohio blow their horns at the intersections, just like the train did here in your video from Wilmington.. I didn’t know there were horns on poles that blew for the train.. thanks for sharing

[@JawTooth]

@@KC-il7mt Thanks for watching!

[@zachzebra56]

Oh yea. These are called wayside horns. They are installed at some quiet zone crossings. These litterly defeat the purpose or idea of a quiet zone (which I never supported to begin with) and their default horn tone is a bit bland sounding in my opinion. (The tone used here definitely sounds better) But I guess they are better than no horns. Still though, They are kind of pointless. I mean, if your gonna have a horn of any kind blowing at a crossing, you may as well have the train blow its own horn instead.

[@stphinkle]

Those weird horns are called "Wayside Horns". What they do is that they direct the sound to people near the crossings that are equipped with them so the train does not have to blow its horn from far out. This concentrates the sound to around the crossing, allowing the rest of the neighborhood to be quieter.

[@JayYoung-ro3vu]

That white collapsible tower is from public safety to monitor crowds. Yes, this section of the bike path has been left unattended for years. You were beside a marshaling yard for a demolished factory. The tracks are still embedded in the street. The train was pulling hard as it was going up the valley. From the vantage point of the wye, you were just south of the Big Four station site. Part of its platform exists. The abandoned tracks beside you did go to a factory but also the former Pennsylvania station (where Clark State has its Kuss Auditorium).

[@JayYoung-ro3vu]

Yes, 'urban renewal' run amok. So many buildings levelled for so few new ones. At least the block two blocks north of the first crossing is still mostly intact. Four buildings lost to 'progress'. One building lost to 'suspicious' fire, another small hotel was levelled for a pocket park.

[@jmjfanss]

and worse illegal aliens, especially haitian migrants are making the city even more painful.

[@sarge4455]

[@JayYoung-ro3vu]

Yep, and now we are regenerating those sites to recreate what we once had. The Core Block sit on a city block of 10s of levelled buildings and closed businesses for its and a now long defunct insurance company's second build. The company's first is owned by a local college and within sight of its successor. Talk has been to construct a third building on the block by removing the fountains. The brutalist design of the 1979 city hall building won awards for its combination of government and public use. The city's 1889 city hall is to Brian's right at 0:03. The park that he's standing in was the site of the city's previous market and city hall. The whole area was regenerated at that time.

[@Crackers2549]

Those horns are nutty Brian...I never encountered them while still out there.... I know one thing, if I would see someone getting ready to go around the gates or pedestrian attempting to cross I was on the horn, no matter if they had a ban on horns or not....! It was bad enough the cars you hit out there, scary.... It's no wonder you hear sirens there all the time, if you know what they did to that town....! Liked that NYC Heritage on the point....

[@loriemonroe76]

Im a retired 19 yr (female) engineer with a class 1 railroad in Nebraska. Most towns, if the town can afford it, want whistle free intersections. It is FRA and requirement to have the large center curbs. At very busy intersections, because of liability, the RR’s have implemented these sirens. Both have saved numerous lives. Our center curbs are built higher per FRA specifications so that a vehicle cannot jump the curb to go around crossing gates. As someone who has hit a vehicle at an intersection (passenger got out in time) I’m a big supporter of these sirens and anything to make it safer for the public and the train crews.

[@JawTooth]

Awesome and thanks for your comments! Very interesting and I love learning from railroaders.

[@kpete9219]

I will put on my sarcasm hat and say that the melodic horns should blow only when trains aren’t there. I enjoy the videos as always.

Maybe my brain is more deteriorated than a two century old railroad tie, and I'm apparently not as smart as a railroad spike, but...... If it was designated a "No Train Horn" zone (presuming the 'noise' was the issue), then why in the name of derailed boxcars would they want those super loud, obnoxious sounding horns?

[@thomasmackowiak]

You had some interesting railfanning in Springfield and Wilmington, Ohio on 20 September 2024, Jaw Tooth! I do not understand the use of the horns at railroad crossings in a "No train Horn" zone. The horns seem to make as much noise as a train horn. That building adjacent to the first railroad crossing in Springfield has an odd shape due to the railroad tracks being on one side of it and the angular street on the other side of it. I was glad to see that you stood in the shade of the underside of the bridge over the railroad tracks when you captured the local coming back to the Norfolk Southern tracs from the west side of the wye. The heat can be brutal. I am glad that you stayed to capture that last train in Springfield, Ohio. It was wonderful to see the Norfolk Southern Heritage unit on the front of that loaded train of covered grain hopper cars. The short Indiana & Ohio Railroad train in Wilmington, Ohio was a bonus. It would have been nice to see more Indiana & Ohio trains in Wilmington, Ohio but sometimes you must leave one location to find a better location. (Posted on 22 September 2024 at 1935 CDT.)
