The tracks that the Westcoast Express runs on run RIGHT UNDER my office 
window (by the big red cranes, 1km west of BC Sugar).  So when the
train goes zooming by 10 or so times a day, it *BLARES* its horn at a
huge volume.  Actually, it blares about 4 or 5 times in the 1km around
my building.  I find this really irritating =) and usually startling.

My question is, why does the train need to use its horn constantly
through this area?  Aren't the flashing car barriers enough?  I mean,
one would imagine that if you heard a DING DING DING and saw a flashing
red barrier drop in front of your car, you would assume that something
(a train?) was coming, and stop.  But no!  The Express has to HONK at
full volume.

Whine whine whine =).
