Holy annoying...some bystanders seriously need to throw some bricks through the windshield. If I were the guy on crutches in the first video...one of the crutches would be skewered through his glass..that's for sure.

Nothing is worse than bored teenage boys. Obnoxious, and annoying is their first impulse.
This car load needs a good spanking all around.

I'm curious as to what they are using for a horn. AFAIK, horns on trains are run by air.

Obnoxious is an understatement on some of them. The guy with the crutches? What a bunch of morons....They just as well got out of their car and kicked his crutches out from under him.

DH: Check out the site http://www.hornblowers.com. It looks like they're running them off compressors and air tanks. Pretty heavy duty stuff for a car, IMO.

That stuff was funny to watch, but if someone did that to me while standing right in front...there would be words.

Thanks for the link.

Most cities have noise ordnances. Not only that, I'm sure there could be other charges that might work also.

A licensees plate , description of car and time of day and they are screwed..

Now again, imho, some of them are funny. Really though, look at some of the stupid ones. Kids on bikes? Who's to say the kid swings into traffic outa being spooked. The guy on crutches? Come on....let the guy walk out in front of you and honk that horn?

Maybe some of you don't understand just how loud that horn is?

How about some of the older folk they were harrasing? Who's to say that wouldn't bring on a heart attack.

Maybe I'm biased but I work on live track all the time. If it were me...I'd crap down both pant legs first...Then I'd chase them down and have them hand wash them pants.

I got these via email last week, too funny!

Reminded me of "The Screamer," some Japanese guy who would walk around town, come up behind somebody and then scream his head off.

In Florida, some local shops are even installing actual locomotive horns on vehicles. "They're definitely annoyingly loud," says Frank Carralero, co-owner of Red's Auto and Truck Customization Shop in Miami, which installs train horns made by Nathan Manufacturing Co.

Meanwhile, the neighbors are furious. For the past few months, Jose Lopez de Zaldo of South Beach has been periodically awaken in the wee hours of the morning by what he thought sounded like trains. "I was very perplexed," says de Zaldo. "I've been living in Miami Beach for 15 years and never heard train horns."

In response to complaints from residents, Miami Beach police have stepped up their efforts to track down and ticket train-horn blowers. Violators of the noise ordinance can be ticketed or even arrested for blasting a train horn.

Catching violators isn't easy. In a significant loophole in many sound ordinances, blasting an air horn may violate the law, but simply owning the horn isn't necessarily illegal. That forces police to catch people in the act of blowing the horn. In Miami Beach, police have established a special one-day training course on quality-of-life issues that includes a component specifically on train horns. Officers are also immediately dispatched to the site of train-horn-blowing complaints, and given vehicle descriptions, in hopes of apprehending the violator, hand on horn.

Noise ordinances can vary significantly from place to place. To find out whether owning or using an air horn violates any local laws, a good place to start is by calling the police department and asking about vehicle horn regulations and noise statutes

If they'd of did that in Ohio and that guy happened to be a licensed concealed carrier, I have a feeling there would be two people shot during that filming!
