Alarm on a dash 8

[Samwolf]

That should be Wimoweh, or - at the beginning - Ee-e-e-um-um-a-weh.

I know, but it was close enough to remind me of the song.

I hear ya'.

I thought that at first, but when the train passed several minutes later after switching, the sound went off again, right when the locomotive passed!

Yes, meaning the same locomotive set off the same car alarm. it's a stock high end Toyota car alarm. My friend has a Solara with that awful alarm on it. Vibration sensor sets the alarm off.

"wee-oo-wee-ooo-weep"

In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight!

I hate you.


Does anyone know how to get rid of a song stuck in your head?

Turn on the TV and watch a few commercials. That should help.
Those catchy jingles do it every time (he says with a hint of sarcasm).

Strange.... Could you get a video of it? At first I thought it was the locomotive, because the locomotive does the typical GE "Woop" followed by the alarm, I just thought it was an air compressor alarm! :P Shows how much I know about locomotive sounds, GE's are rare in Apex, so I thought it was something strange to only GE's!

If I can get a hold of a camera, I'll be more than happy to grab a video. In fact, later on, I'll do a quick Google for a video. I'm sure there are only about 1 million Toyota alarm video's out there.

Edit: Google can be your friend, or sometimes Google can be just stupid. Tonight it's being just stupid.

Its been a long time but I'm thinking that alarm was the K9 APU on the 40-2.

[Csxgp38-2]

Really? That makes more sense because the sound moves with the unit.

[SCLJim]

Yeah I'm almost positive I've heard that same alarm a few times in Boyles terminal, back in the day. I remember getting aggravated bc the service crews would let them go forever. I know the APU would make an audible alarm along with the beacon flashing, on the other side, when there was some kind of fault with the system.
