Great piece, Tony! A somber morning read, but defiantly well written.

Thanks. I live maybe 150 yards from the tracks and always wonder how they decide to run the whistles.

Same up here in PA. My property literally has a railroad right-of-way. This end of the tracks is no longer in use, but it is still maintained. When it was in use I always marveled at the irregularity of the sounding.

Good article. Isn’t to say rail safety is adaquate in the US, but some of your facts could be checked. Send me an email if interested tmackay(at)mdot.maryland.gov. My wife grew up in Delmar with your daughter. Best Regards,
