"The odd thing is that since the FEC got their new ES44C4's, there have been several complaints about the loudness of the horns!"
I was having this conversation with one FEC's sub contractors recently. Living about 1/4 from the FEC tracks. I suggested rail traffic had increased and was likely the reason for increased noise complaints. He told me while that might be part of the reason, two other reasons are because the new ES44C4's turbines are louder with higher sound frequencies. But more than that people are angered about the All Aboard Florida passenger service which will increase traffic on the line by adding 28 more trains daily.
