You hear it before you see it — that loud, piercing train horn blasting as it approaches a crossing. But have you ever wondered why trains whistle every single time? Is it just tradition from the steam engine days, or is there something more behind that unmistakable sound?
In today’s video, we break down the real reason trains whistle at crossings, how the rule became standardized, what the horn pattern actually means, and why it’s still required even when flashing lights and gates are present. We’ll also explore quiet zones and the role human behavior plays in crossing accidents.
