Train horns explained
Ever wonder what those train horns are actually saying? Let’s break it down. Long-long-short-long: That’s ‘I’m approaching a crossing.’ Two short blasts? ‘I’m about to move forward.’ Three short honks mean ‘I’m backing up.’ Now, if you hear a long, continuous blast, that’s the universal ‘danger’ signal. Trains use it when there’s something or someone on the tracks. And here’s a fun fact: that super loud horn? It’s called a Nathan AirChime, and it can hit 110 decibels. That’s as loud as a rock concert. So next time you hear a train, you’ll know exactly what it’s communicating. Pretty cool, right? Train conductors are basically speaking their own horn language out there.
