Dick, not correct these days. The current UPRR System Special Instructions dated 04/20/2012 states on page 53: Whistle signal 5.8.2(7) -- In the states of California and Montana sound whistle signal at all crossings, public and private.
This requirement may apply in additional states in which Union Pacific does not operate. Does anyone have a list of any additional states?
