Man are you going to be disappointed when you learn that trains don't chugga chugga no mo'.

Disagree. It's the choo choo that is missing on modern trains.

Not around me it isn’t..

They choo choo several times for each road crossing, of which there are 5 within earshot of my house. They run roughly once every two hours, including at night, and they do still choo choo at night.

These are freight and not passenger, though.
