Once again, let's look for anything to b**** and moan about. My f'ing goodness you people never cease to amaze. 

Personally, I think the train horn is friggen awesome. It's loud. It's obnoxious. And it's hype. Like our offense - a train that steamrolled right through the opposing defense. I like it.

Not complaining. I just wanted to hear your personally opinion. Thanks.

It really helps to know the history of the city you live in or pull for: 

"The history of Atlanta dates back to 1836, when Georgia decided to build a railroad to the U.S. Midwest and a location was chosen to be the line's terminus. The stake marking the founding of "Terminus" was driven into the ground in 1837 (called the Zero Mile Post)."

 

"During the American Civil War, Atlanta served as an important railroad and military supply hub. (See also: Atlanta in the Civil War.) In 1864, the city became the target of a major Union invasion (the setting for the 1939 film Gone with the Wind). The area now covered by Atlanta was the scene of several battles, including the Battle of Peachtree Creek, the Battle of Atlanta, and the Battle of Ezra Church. General Sherman cut the last supply line to Atlanta at the Battle of Jonesboro fought on August 31-September 1.[21] With all of his supply lines cut, Confederate General John Bell Hood was forced to abandon Atlanta. On the night of September 1, his troops marched out of the city to Lovejoy, Georgia. General Hood ordered that the 81 rail cars filled with ammunition and other military supplies be destroyed. The resulting fire and explosions were heard for miles.[22] The next day, Mayor James Calhounsurrendered the city,[23] and on September 7 Sherman ordered the civilian population to evacuate.[24][25] He then ordered Atlanta burned to the ground on November 11 in preparation for his punitive march south."

Hence the train horn.   Some compared the horn to those played at hockey games on social media and while it functionally serves the same purpose hockey tends to use ship/boat horns.
