My Response to the City of Markham's Eureka St Train Horn Incident

[@AmtrakCSXFan457]

This feels like the whole Downtown San Diego situation where they arent meeting proper requirements

This is a great video! I don't agree with the "no horn ban" because in reality safety is important. Especially Eureka Street because of those curves. For me when I railfanned in the summer of 2024 I was in a "no horn zone" and there was people making social media videos of them being foolish around when a train was approaching and the speed was 95 mph.. the train only blew the horn once and for 2 seconds.

Agreed

Interesting, its important to note though that electrified service on the Stouffville line will end at unionville metrolinx doesn't own the tracks beyond that point but regardless I agree there are horns on the trains so flipping use them 😤

Metrolinx owns the tracks all the way to Uxbridge.
