Dear Action Line: It’s great to hear the train whistle each evening from where I live on 32nd Street. Lately it hasn’t been the regular warning blast at the 32nd Street crossing, but more of a plaintive, drawn-out, lonely wail that repeats several times. It makes me think of the lonely sea serpent in Ray Bradbury’s tale, “The Fog Horn.” What’s the story here? –
