Guest guest Posted May 17, 2002 Report Share Posted May 17, 2002 We love to ride the subway whenever we are in the city. It's always an adventure. I think it was one of my son's favorite things from when he got to make the trip with us! We don't have subways in Kansas. Couldn't tunnel through this clay even if we wanted to.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2002 Report Share Posted May 18, 2002 , the train ride sounds like fun - this may be a dumb question, but is it round trip? How long is the ride?

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 QUESTION OF THE DAY,,,, Last night, I approached a train track when the crossing arm went down. I noticed and wondered,, do horns from freight trains sounds different than Amtrak? Either I am crazy or not, but it seems that way to me.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Yes, passenger train locomotives have different sounding horns than freight engines. Before I lost my hearing, I could identify UP, from SP, from Santa Fe from Amtrak just by the sound of their horns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Yes they are different. Even the hardcore train watchers know what kind of horn from specific types of locomotive. -gs On 7/1/2011 8:02 AM, wrote: > 2a. trains > Posted by: " spottedlee@...

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Thank you Trish and Bonnie,, It's amazing what sounds are out there! When I heard the horns, I realized it didn't sound " right " , so I thought to myself,, " must be Amtrak " ,, and sure enough,, Amtrak zoomed right by me and I was SHOCKED! It took me SEVEN AND HALF YEARS after getting the CI to noticed it! I guess the only reason I noticed it I don't hear Amtrak often enough,, Between 2 tracks, 1/4 miles apart, freight trains go by probably 40 times a day. Amtrak goes by 3 times a day, The Sounder, our local commute trains only go by in early in morning toward Seattle and from Seattle in evening so I normally don't see it,, I will have to test them someday! I don't think I can test them,, cuz if I know they are coming, I probably will trick myself into thinking I know the different,, I will have to play a game when I am not expecting a train. I guess learning to hear will never end.. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
