You might want to read up on some of the regulations about the signals that trains are required by law to use before you go complaining about it, just so you don’t look foolish. This is just one link I found that had a bit of information about the trains. I believe Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF) runs in the area you are complaining about, they should have more specific information about their regulations.
Personally I would feel much better about train conductors using the proper signals for safety purposes rather than attempting to alter their practices so a few people can get some sleep. Are a few minutes of lost sleep more valuable than someone’s life?
