Most people in India prefer to travel by train. Many people traveling on New Year are traveling by train only. You must have heard the train horn many times. But have you ever noticed that the sound of the train horn also keeps changing? Yes, there are a total of 11 types of horns present in trains. Different types of sounds emerge in different situations.
When asked about the sound of a train, most people make the sound of chuuk-chuuk. If you have heard of horns then you would not know that they are also of different types. There are nine types of horns in the train and they are played at different positions. Let us tell you their names and the reason for playing them.
1 short horn- This horn means that the train has arrived in the yard and now it is time to clean it.
2 short horns- This means that the train is now ready to move.
3 short horns- This means that the locopilot of the train has lost his control of the engine and now the guard has to stop the train with vacuum brakes.
4 short horns- This horn means that a technical fault has occurred in the train and now the train will not move forward.
6 Short Horn- When the loco pilot senses any danger, he blows this type of horn.
Train personnel understand the meaning of every sound
2 small and 1 big horn- This type of horn is played for two reasons. First of all, when someone pulls the chain of the train or when the guard applies the vacuum pressure brake.
Very long horn blow- If the train is continuously blowing its horn, it means that it will not stop on the platform.
Horns were blown intermittently twice- When the train approaches a railway crossing, it blows its horn intermittently twice. The reason for this is that no human being is able to come near the railway track.
Two long and one short horns- Such a horn is blown when the train changes its track.
