Train Horn Rule

The Train Horn Rule is a safety regulation requiring trains to sound their horns at specific times and places, such as near crossings, to alert pedestrians and drivers of an approaching train. This helps prevent accidents and ensures awareness of train movement. The rule specifies the horn’s volume, pattern, and duration to make it recognizable and effective, especially in areas where visibility might be limited. Overall, it’s a safety measure designed to protect both train crew and the public by providing clear warning signals during transit.
