It not just indicates the arrival or departure of the train, but every horn and its duration has a different meaning behind it.

Here is what some signals mean.

One short horn – signals that the motorman will be taking the train in the yard for a wash-up and cleaning.

Two short horns – he is asking the guard to direct the railway signal to start the train. *

Three smaller horns – means that the motormen have lost control over the motor. This is a signal for the guard to immediately pull the vacuum break.

Continuous horn – is blown to alert the passengers that the train will pass through stations without any halt.
