Signs next to the tracks.

BNSF would be GCOR, not NORAC

I did not realize that there are actual signs which indicate when the engineer is required to sound the horn.

I always thought (at least on modern trains) that there was some sort of audible or visual signal inside the cab that was activated by the locomotive hitting a sensor on the tracks.

Or is it both things?

Nope, signs and, more importantly, knowing and being qualified on the territory.

Sensors in the track trigger the crossing signals.

If you could get yourself a copy of the NORAC book you would get all of the signal applications for lit signals. Someone's probably made it a PDF online now.

In case you don't have the updated version of the new signals that were added a few years ago, here you are:
