5:01 -- Train going over grade crossing - Instead of 2 long 1 short 1 long.. all he got was the one long... when the engineer hit the second - the horn Stuck OPEN!!!
5:02 - He's stopped within a half mile from my house, i'm thinking of calling 911
5:02:30 - Scanner: first 911 call - Locomotive, NS - horn is continously sounding
5:05 --- STILL BLOWING!!!!
5:07 -- First Officer arrives on scene (Calls in "Away from vehicle")
5:10 -- HORN STOPS Blowing........
5:11 - Scanner: Ok - - we got it - my hammer was bigger than the Engineer's hammer - It was stuck open - .... not anymore.....
Now THAT's Funny!!!!! :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:
