Success! This morning I’ve noticed at least one more train go by in “quiet mode”. Woo hoo!

Maybe over the next couple of weeks they’ll realize they don’t have to anymore.

Maybe so. Haven’t heard any whistles in a while now… maybe it’s all good. Could be that several trains have gone by and I didn’t notice (I’m so accustomed to the train noises, one going by barely registers anymore). Gonna pay more attention and report back.

Here’s to hoping that it’s just that the memo was late in arriving in the engineers’ hands because of the bad weather. :)
