That would be much easier, simply sweep a modulated oscillator across the
band. With a couple of adjustments it would be easy to emulate a train
whistle, a somewhat universal warning.

DHS has proposed a change in scenario. They want an on locomotive

broadcasting, train (s) to be in motion at all times. 20-30 second

that would also combine a message to be aware that a locomotive (at

will be flying by the at grade crossings.

Comments?

Tracks across Lake Ponchartrain fell in.

Granted they were put back in service faster than anything the
government had connection to.

That's a better idea than a tone and what has been proposed is a tone and
an electronic pre-recorded message.
