When I was a BNSF engineer, the FRA and BNSF were on us constantly about the horn rule, 15-20 seconds until the crossing is occupied under 45 mph, above 45, blow one properly timed sequence from the "W" board, until crossing is occupied, then stop, no point blowing after you're off the wood. We always had somebody out of service over it. If you google FRA horn rule, I think it's about 54 pages long.

One of the most idiotic rules ever! Thank goodness we never had supervisors with stop watches!!!
