    Also expressed as ___ ___ _ ___ Morse code for the letter Q. When you hear a distant train whistle make this series of sounds it means it is approaching a crossing.

    This tradition goes back to the days of Queen Victoria when it literally meant "The Queen approaches, clear the way"

    Thought you might find this of interest. It is the kind of information you can use in your everyday life.
