[Summit] Train Whistles - and Birds

[Hope for Health]

I haven't noticed any particular change in frequency
- when I hear a train whistle, I just enjoy the moment,
because I LOVE trains! 

In fact, my first thought, before reading all your
explanations, was - "YES!  The more the better -
maybe service is increasing!".

By the way, what I have noticed, especially some
early mornings, is an increased chatter by birds
= also welcome sounds.

Blessings,

Liberty G
