Wayside Horns At Railroad Crossings - Compilation Video

Railroad crossing compilation video of grade crossings with wayside electronic horn systems. These are installed at quiet zone crossings but not at all. Most quiet zone crossings don't have wayside horns. Wayside horns are disliked by many railfans.
The "X" above wayside horns alert train crews that they are functioning by having a fast pace pulsating flash. The "X" deactivates while a train is passing to dissable the system while a train is passing. Sometimes they malfunction and the horn blows while the train is passing through but also some are set to sound till crossing gates start rising. If the "X" isn't flashing at all and off when the crossing isn't active or activated it means something is wrong with the wayside horn system.

Honestly Wayside Horn Is Way Better Than Quiet Zone!

[@Ploryandyoopfan]

Im excited to see this one

[@smiles29099]

y'all can thank me for wanting a railroad crossing compilation like this lol

[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

Well I actually planned to make this compilation but waited until I went to Texas and the videos were published from there so I can use them also in the compilation. This was one of the compilation I waited to do for a few months.

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

What I also found out is, if the X isn’t flashing at all, the engineer is required to blow the horn on the locomotive at the crossing

[@GTFilms3636]

The engineer can still blow their beautiful train horns in the stupid quiet zones if they want.

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

@@GTFilms3636 it’s interesting that steam engines have to blow in quiet zone regardless because they don’t have ditch lights I recall when big boy 4014 came to Texas in 2021 in Fort Worth. He blew at all the quiet zone crossings, and I soon learned that’s actually a regulation anything that predates an engine that has ditch lights has to blow in quiet zones.

@@GTFilms3636 yep I’m surprised that no one has complained about something that you wouldn’t hear very often the rare sound of an steam locomotive’s whistle

Nice video! I really don't like wayside horns, but luckily there are almost none in my area. I knew most of the crossings would be the BNSF ones in Escalon & the crossings you filmed in Texas!

[@YaBoyBasi]

I live in Houston and i See trains in surgar land ALL the time! I love it!

[@kinkisharyocoasters]

It should be that it's just one pattern for the 15 seconds before the train arrives. I'd imagine theyd have a way to wire that

[@czam0584]

Those bad boys sound really cool, specifically Sugarland's

[@keanupro7578]

Nice!

[@Irish2007]

Well if I had to pick a wayside Id have to say the one here with a deeper tone sounds a tad better than the flatter one of texas, but not by much

[@NSSignalGuy]

The one at Yosemite st is probably the best RS3L imitation. Not scratchy at all

[@EllieFitzgibbons]

Mchenry Avenue is not a scratchy horb

[@Londonhumes]

same

[@mariovalencia8569]

That first clip what is Highway 90 ALT Sugarland it’s right in front of dynamic fitness

[@figurebloxxer]

1:48 I find these wayside horns annoying, their low pitch sound is the thing that annoys me most. The rest of the wayside horns, I love.

[@salvadormedinafeliciano6454]

Nice

[@Gwinnettrailfan]

They are not cool. They are just sirens. However great compilation!

[@Londonhumes]

i hope theres a warbonnet here

[@harmanrai2197]

Great video!

My dad loves trains

[@irondiamondrailproductions9038]

Some of these wayside horns sound like Canadian train horns, some sound similar to 6936’s RS3L, and there are some on the East Coast, which sound like K5LAs. There are other variations out there, but I don’t know where those are.

[@tacomarailmultimedia1486]

Not to mention the west coast since edmonds station has that.

[@percivalalexie6400]

my question is: can wayside horns be on the loram railgrinder or some other loram rail cleaners or ballast ones

[@PatrickDoyle-gt9kd]

The first one sounds like the Los Angeles Kings goal horn

[@NSSignalGuy]

The horns go off before the crossing activates. That’s not how it is in DeKalb IL

The wayside horns in Texas sounds weird for some reason

[@WashingtonTrainWatching]

They don’t sound werid, Texas has different wayside horns.

Wayside Horn: There’s the train! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

[@TheRailfan360]

I'm personally not a fan of these things, considering how unrealistic most of them sound. It's REALLY annoying when they don't shut off either.

[@mr_man72]

wayside horn better than no horn

[@TheWaukeshaRailSpotter]

I find the wayside horns very annoying

[@peanutmwo6001]

sounds like a K3LA

[@mastersproutgamer9327]

It would've been nice if we had wayside horns for quiet zone crossings in Anaheim.
