CHICAGO AND NORTHWESTERN RAILROAD LETTER _ TRAIN WHISTLES: The Clerk reads June 20, 1946 Mr. Otto W.J.Henrich,City Clerk City of Des Plaines, Illinois Dear Sir: Replying to your letter of June 18 with reference to excessive blowing of whistles from trains passing through the City of Des Plaines. I presume you have reference to the whistling on our main line passing in front of your station and over the crossings, both north and south of your station. The sounding of the locomotive whistle is restricted passing through Des Plaines to cases of emergency. It is appreciated that there are certain whistles used to call in the flagman, and also whistles used to call for signals. These of course are necessary, and in a great many instances enginemen sound whistles when auto- mobiles are approaching crossings at a high rate of speed due to the Engineer not knowing whether the automobile driver will observe the signals at the crossing, and also in a great many instances unusual whistling is the result of carelessness on the part of automobile drivers and pedestrians. I hesitate to warn enginemen to refrain from sounding whistles as an indication of warning to some caxtless person, but I assure you that we will take.such steps as will minimize the whistling through the City of Des Plaines.
