Brighton, Ontario
I was tempted to whistle "I've been working on the railroad" but I was afraid the whistling police might hear me.
Canadian National heading westerly
Then a few seconds later - I probably shouldn't tattle - but this train DID whistle two short blasts just before it entered this intersection.

Uh-oh! I'm calling the train police!! What a funny sign. :)
hahah...You always find the neatest photos.
Here I'm pretty sure that trains are required to whistle before entering any crossing.
Lol. I can see why the engineer whistled. How could he read the sign when it's pointed in that direction??
I like what you've done with this blog. The sign makes me think of some bureaucrat sitting in a big government building who couldn't quite come up with the right wording for a sign. He was probably whistling while he was working.
Funny!
LoL i imagine people glaring at the whistling train.:p
great find!
Wonder how many people have wanted to "tattle"?...:)JP
My, it is getting to where a person can't do anything anymore without it being illegal.
I laughed out loud at this! I can just picture you whistling...watching for the authorities! Funny sign too...the whistle is a warning that they are on the way...I would think that was a good thing!
Good to know it's coming at a crossing! Glad you aren't in railroad jail, tho.
I have never seen a sign like this, why "no whistling" I wonder.
A great find!
haha. that's what it's called, train whistle. i learned something new today.
Must have been a frustrated train driver!
If I ever see a train with nice legs I'll do the wolf whistle.
Very curious - what is nearby that the authorities do not want the train to sound its whistle?

Hehehe, I love the sign, very funny, how would we know if they are coming?
You have a delightful sense of humour, EG CameraGirl... and I needed the laugh right now. Thanks! :-)

Good post, I'm listening for train whistles at the intersections. I do think it is required here. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a message.
I remember a few years ago there was some controversy over the train whistles in Waterdown, but I like hearing it.
You make me giggle...I've been working on the railroad...haha
Trains our way always give some kind of blast before a rail road crossing! Wish it was a whistle! Far more pleasant! A most unusual sign!
:)
I started to think on "the whistle café". in the film named "fried green tomatoes" :)) a film that touched me much.. have you seen it?
But there you COULD whistle.. :))
