San Diego?

If ever that were to really happen, I would have heard it all the way here. :lol: There are instances that I can hear the locomotives blasting their horns as they go down the rails over here.

How did you get to do that in the sim? To have 3 locomotives blast the horns at the same time.

It has happened 2 or 3 times before with Amtrak. But ever since SDG was made 24 quiet zone they can't do it anymore.

You forgot my other question on how you did that 3 locomotive horn blasting at the same time.

What is that, that is 24 quiet zone? I know I still hear those horns blasting late at night. But it's most likely from the BNSF locos and not Amtrak that's doing it.

A few crossings in and towards Old Town are still active horn zones but I'm not sure how far back past the SDG station the QZ extends. As for the ORTS stuff, multiplayer and Skype comes into play with that. ;)
