    That's because our crossing signal is LONG-LONG-SHORT-LONG but when they are crossing rural areas and driveways, as the VRS does often, they just use short blasts. Plus where I recorded this there was a crossing abot 200 yards ahead of me, so he had to do the signal twice.

    Why so slow? Well for one, this is a shortline, so they don't have any of the big EMDs or GEs, plus the track isn't in that great of a condition. Plus Americans seem to be more interested in power than speed, although we do have trains like the acela, but even those aren't superfast. Hope this helped!
