"Streetcar on which I was a Passenger?" How quaint<g>? Glad to see them , 
streetcars, motoring on nowadaze! Toronto? I guess?

And the schmuck in the car probably can barely hear it....Electric 
streetcars are surprisingly quiet!

 Nor will he hear a Train horn at a grade crossing, So Darwin's Principle is 
still in effect. It's USUALLY painless for him as he'll NEVER know what hit 
him!So many "Music" Fans, so few trains? But it sure as hell ties up the RR 
all the paper work, though. Hundreds of folks made late, for where they are 
going, but it keeps a passle of lawyers working ,as the servivors are quick 
to sue the nasty, evil  RR co! They TRY to make train horns as LOUD as 
possable! You too can join in the fun, go to Hornblasters.com, They will 
sell YOU as Train Horn! I tried one out in a recent FLA trip. Buddy had one 
fitted to his work truck! What a blast!Sometimes you have to fight noise 
with MORE!
