Whistle markers were placed along the track one-quarter mile before every road crossing in both directions to alert the engineer to blow the train whistle. The horizontal bars on this concrete whistle marker—two wide, one narrow, one wide—tell the engineer to sound the railroad’s standard crossing alert: two long, one short, one long.
