John,
I appreciate the comments. From a sound warning standpoint, what
happens in those areas where whistles are restricted, such as the
Chicago commuter territory. Unless a clear and present danger is
apparent, the engineer would not normally sound the horn.

They may win at trial, but on appeal they usually
lose, at least in the State of Illinois. Here the law
is clear, the train has the right of way. Now if the
rr does not sound a warning, the signals are not
working, or the view is obsructed, the motorist MAY
win. Just observations from a country lawyer!
