    Some cities allow trains to refrain from horns within city limits and instead the barrier makes a more localized dinging. I live near a major rail interchange and they rarely every honk their horns, oftenly only using a short warning horn if needed.

    When I lived rurally trains with horns were far more common. On a human note I’d rather hear a train horn occasionally than hear constant traffic noise. I get how thats harder to manage with a dog but perhaps consistent training could lessen their response to horns.

      Yeah, our little adopted stray fella Brownie apparently came from out in the country somewhere away from trains.

      He’s generally a really good dog, almost exceptional really, all things considered. But super loud noises still make him nervous…
