I’m not really a fan of wayside horns and I think this wayside horn is the reason why lol.

[@BrylcreemBill]

That is the sickest train whistle that I've ever heard. At first, I thought it was some sea creature on the beach. LOL.

[@UPfan3452]

It's a Wayside horn btw

I know it’s sucks the stupid neighbors living by the train tracks and they start to complain if the stupid neighbors don’t like the train horns just MOVE simple as that

I thought metrolink was in Manchester england

[@asianhunk99]

There’s Manchester Metrolink, a light rail system, and this is Southern California Metrolink, a heavy rail commuter rail system.

Why does the train sound like a choo-choo train? 😢

[@owentherailfan564]

why the wayhorn a steam engine horn?

[@sethcourtemanche5738]

Why are they using a 130 year old horn design?

Who puts a railroad crossing so close to the beach?

[@The_Californian_Railfanner]

The person who founded the city since the mountains were in the way of the train tracks so he just moved them to the beach

[@greglarocca095]

How do you know that?

That's pretty obnoxious. The future is now.

[@Videogames458]

The sound sounds like bam

[@El_Transportacoches_33]

0:51: where does the whistle come from? From a steamship?

[@brodiessirenproductions]

It’s an electronic speaker playing an audio file

[@El_Transportacoches_33]

@@brodiessirenproductions that perhaps the horn of the locomotive was broken or was entering an area where it was forbidden to honk the horn to only trains?

[@brodiessirenproductions]

@@El_Transportacoches_33 The area that the crossing is at, is in a no train horn zone, meaning that the trains in that area can not blast their horn. They have quieter horns to take over so that the public is not as disturbed.

[@El_Transportacoches_33]

@@brodiessirenproductions I knew you were thinking about the No Speaker Zone for a while now. And in the end I was right. But what seemed strange to me was the "Silent" horn of the speakers at the level crossing, instead of the horn of the train itself.

It’s a wayside horn

[@nicksfuntv1281]

It has a sound chip that sounds like a whistle but looks like a horn. At first I thought it was strange for a diesel locomotive to have a whistle. But its electronic. Cool! Huh!

Why is a railroad crossing at a beach 🤔/😱?

[@asianhunk99]

Cuz this allows nearby residents and visitors to get to the beach. This stretch of beach, there’s no other way to get to it. Also, An Amtrak station is right next to this crossing, which only one train a day stops here.
