Hello trucks can be very noisy, Question is there a way no to hear a train if its coming from a blind curve and you clearly do not see the train.

#### Trains!
The Engineer needs better training ( sarcasim)mnmover Thanks this. -
What's the rule you were taught, or were supposed to be taught, about unlighted and ungated RR tracks, you ALWAYS look both ways before crossing.LGarrison and NavigatorWife Thank this. -
Looks like you'd almost have to get the nose of a hood on the tracks to be able to see very far down the tracks. But unless there was a horn restriction at that crossing, no excuse not to have heard something while in that location [unless the driver had his stupid stereo cranked all the way up]

They should put up a light or an arm, maybe both.
In Oklahoma on Hwy 69 on the northbound side, you can look down and see a dirt trail in a field , with lights and arms. -
(I hate driving an old truck!) -
Probably had his ears full of, Ear buds. I don't understand how people drive with them. My ole stereo sounds good enough for me.
cnsper Thanks this. -
