If I've never banked with Wells Fargo, am I at risk that an account was opened in my name?

Makes sense. I figured as much, but I wasn't positive. Thanks for the info!

Hey there! Fellow steam train aficionado here! I drive a 4-4-0 Crown locomotive every day for a US amusement park. I ride in both the fireman and engineer seats. I find there's no feeling more satisfying than blowing the whistle to make my presence known :)

My question for you is a relatively simple one:

We follow a standard whistle pattern used by small and large railways across the US (where - is a long whistle and * is a short whistle):

vehicular crossing: --*-

pedestrian crossing: --

backing up: ---

brakes set: *

ready for departure: ** etc.

Are whistle signals you're familiar with across the pond different from those I'm familiar with in the US? If so, how? I'm beginning to learn more and more from railroad community members and I'd love to get your input! Thanks, in advance!

We actually burn propane. It's rather unconventional, but its cleaner for the environment (or so they say).
