Does anybody know what is the meaning behind where it sounds like there’s two shotgun blast and two reports from the Whistle right after what that means?
Those were torpedoes, a railroad signaling device which is basically gunpowder wrapped in heavy paper with metal clips attached. These were attached to the rail and would explode when a train ran over them. They were used to warn a crew of a train or other obstruction ahead. The crew would typically answer with two short blasts of the whistle, a signal of acknowledgement.
