The Fat Asian Baby does not understand why it is necessary for every train passing through Atlanta in the night to lean on its horn the whole way through. In case we're deaf and hadn't heard the loud approaching train noises (and in which case, that lovely honking wouldn't do much to help us out anyway), I think the lowering of the gate and flashing lights should be enough to alert us to a train's impending arrival. But then again maybe that's just me and my superior intuitive skills again. I understand that the horn blowing is probably some sort of safety thing, but couldn't we maybe suspend it for, say, the hours between 1 and 7 in the morning? Have we ever asked ourselves if disturbing the sleep of every resident of this part of Atlanta multiple times nightly is really worth the life of some potential ass-clown driver or pedestrian who happens along in the middle of the night? If said individual really doesn't understand what the flashing red lights, lowered gate, and rumbling noises mean, I say hit 'em. I mean, do we really want to live in a society where people that idiotic are allowed to walk the streets?
