Kalyan WCAG1 #21977 rushes towards Karjat with a long BCNA rake. I was standing at a Level crossing and the loco pilot was continously honking to ensure that i do not jump in front of the loco at the last moment!

To be honest, I never honked for people who showed suicidal intention by standing close to tracks. These guys had made up their mind and there was nothing I could do.

However, I did honk to keep people aware that train is approaching....

However, I did honk to keep people aware that train is approaching. Instead of loud, continuous horn, its is better to sound shorter taps.

I was far away from the loco but near the LC gates! The loco pilot just wanted to ensure that I saw the loco! When he saw my camera he stopped honking!

Dear Binai,
It is necessary to maintain a safe distance from oncoming trains, not only for our safety but to minimize loco drivers' anxieties
