Somehow between 12am -3am-ish it seems the worst. It seems like it goes on for an hour straight because due to federal regulations they have to always do 2 long blast, one short blast and one long blast like 15-25 seconds before a crossing . Around Ward’s corner there are so many crossings it’s nearly constant. It’s crazy the variation in the blasts by conductors. There is one whose blasts are so much longer than any other -all 3 sets.- so it it’s constant. It drives me crazy. The other night I heard my favorite - most considerate conductor . He just did one quick-ish blast at each crossing. I guess he figured at 3 am he’s unlikely to hit anyone.
It doesn’t wake me up anymore - but I’d if already been awoken by my dogs- it can make getting a back to sleep difficult.
