wow. spooky idea. just got called into work, darn, these answers are fascinating!

I’m more or less, maybe less than 7 miles but more than 4, and not as the crow flies, but still over 4 miles away.

ghost train...hmmm, it is awfully spooky. Heard it at midnight, why would a train whistle blow at midnight? I read that in Tempe they actually made a law they can’t blow the whistle because of complaints.

Tempe is run by Democrats, of course;)

Trains are required by federal DOT Rules to blow horns/whistles as they approach road crossings - depending on what kind of controls are at the crossings. If municipalities desire no whistles, there’s a lot they have to do at crossings to make it possible for trans to be silenced.
