OutbackSpot ::: Favorites I Have answered this question before about another video. My answers is that I blow the horn according to our rules. And to say that we are in the isolated remote location as can be seen in the video. I hope this helps to explain. 07-06-10 01:51:15 _____________________________________________________
DaveWVideo ::: Favorites Interesting. US General Code of Operating Rules--Rule 5.8.2 (11)--does not differentiate between crowded or remote areas and must be adhered to at all times unless train is in specified Quiet Zone where additional signalling equipment is used, such as electronic horns or 4 quadrant gates (barriers). Sorry I didn't see the other comment on other video. Personally I feel the rules in your country are inadequate for proper crossing safety--no offense meant to you. 07-06-10 04:49:20 _____________________________________________________
