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.
