Several years ago I bought a big wrecker from a friend than, His step dad worked in a train yard moving cars around & He had gotten a train horn & the boy put it on the roof of the truck i bought from him. Well they had hooked it up to the air brakes but I never new that, It never worked cause the brakes were never on to long. Than one day my brother in law got in a car axident & the car was at a gas station about 25 miles away & he asked me to go get it & bring it out to his farm. I had to go through this town & go down this steep hill to a red & green stop light at the bottom of the hill & on the other side was a old train Xing that was about 300 ft from the lights & the tracks hadn't been used for many years. The light was red & i braked & braked & there started this rumbling in the roof of the cab got louder & louder Than came the WWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOO & the light changed but all the cars were stoped at the tracks, Lookin down those tracks for a train that wasn't there & I had to put them on again cause of all the cars WWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOO again. There were no lights at the train Xing but the people remember what a train horn mean't, Well there was quite a bunch of confused people there at that Xing I just sat in the truck & after awhile when they couldn't see a train & dint know what the hell was goin on they slowly drove of. I drove of to, Slow & made sure I din't make no long braking stops any more. [Reply]   [Send Email]
