Re: [CBQ] Train Horn - Was types of gallery cars

While the "second horn" COULD have been connected to be activated along with the main horn, it seems pointless to me.

 

And, facing forward, it could hardly be called the "rearward" facing horn, as on BN 732:

So my completely uninformed guess/opinion is that the second horn was used as a special signal for other Q/BN employees, NOT as a grade crossing warning.

 

My other completely uninformed guess/opinion is that it was installed based on a request by a city/town that the train passed through, likely as some sort of "quiet" horn.

 

Don't have a third uninformed guess/opinion at the moment.
