She doesn't know a single thing about trains! "Why are they blowing the horn when no one's on the tracks?" What!?? They blow the horns for the crossing in the area as it's a horn zone which saves lives! Also you chose to live near train tracks what did you expect? And hearing that her neighbor called the police because she was frustrated with the horns blowing in the middle of the night is just extremely stupid. "Yes 911 it is like 2:30am and trains are blowing their horns right beside my house and it is frustrating me!" What are the police going to do about it rip off the train horns?? Karen's like those two should just move out if trains make them that frustrated! Like seriously calling the police over train horns?
But blowing the horn at night at 12pm or 1am is absolutely ridiculous. First off, NO ONE is awake at that time, and second, YOULL KNOW WHEN IT’S COMING IF YOU SEE THE REFLECTION OF THE LIGHTS!
There is a quiet zone in the downtown of the neighboring town, which is also being violated. I'm in a rural area and they blow the horns all night long for no reason except to harass people. There is no "safety" about what they are doing. My house was here before the railroad, but the railroads were not so noisy or so heavy until recent years. They have ceased to be good or even reasonable neighbors and there is no excuse for what they are doing. There are stats that show they are not saving lives with their 120 decibel horns at every crossroad for no reason all day and all night about 200 times per day. It's absurd and those arguing otherwise obviously work for the government. No sane person thinks this is reasonable.
Car horns are necessary too, but nobody feels the need to blow their horn at EVERY intersection they approach, do they? By logic, since cars cross intersections more often than trains, cars should be required to blow their horns. How long will you last before you yell "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH with the car horns!!!"

The tracks were there first before you immature people complain to the federal railroad administration people saying "STOP THE TRAIN HORNS, ITS DRIVING ME INSANE" People in other countries: were used to the train horn. Solution: move away from the train tracks if you don't like the horn. Besides, trains are important to are nation, and they have the right to blow the horn. Also, the operator of the train must blow the horn and follow railroad safety laws. Don't come crying back to someone saying that your loved one or family member was killed by a speeding train when it didn't sound the horn, that's completely your fault for complaining for the FRA to put the quiet zone in place. Like seriously, we have to blow these horns to keep people safe. And you should do your part being around trains and train tracks. And Don't ignore the railroad crossing gates or flashing lights or bells, cause if you don't, you'll end up being hurt or injured, and even worse, losing your life and dying. Thats why operation lifesaver is there to teach everyone why its dangerous to disobey the safey rules on the railroad, and its not a playground at all
in bushnell florida there are trains that come threw town almost every hour, 10pm to 6 am, no one can get any rest what so ever, and there are lights, crossing guards, quiet zone, but still the horns are so loud they shake the walls, even half mile away. they have gotten out of hand.
People who hate train horns sounding, they should set up a tent in the middle of the tracks and have a silent train roll over them. Dead people can't hear any train horns.
the tea is now developing a new train with an extension arm that goes out the window when it passes her house with a big hand on the end of it and I see sticks her head out the window she gets slapped ... then the horn sounds !
But a house with an ACTIVE RAILROAD in the backyard is not gonna have nearly as much value as a home that’s not near an active railroad. Nobody is gonna want to buy her house!!
So then by logic, should motorists blow their horns at EVERY intersection they approach? How long is that going to last before you yell, "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!" However, if you still have the instinct to do so, I have something for you to blow. It's not a horn, but it is horn shaped.
@@delanorrosey4730 Your comparison is a fallacy, motorists don't blow their horns at every crossing because intersections are guarded by red lights which are not usually ignored by people because multiple cars are crossing the intersection at once, thus increasing the chance of a collision between two cars intersecting paths should one of them run a red, and if/when a driver does choose to run a red, horns ARE sounded. A train horn is sounded because even though there are multiple other warning devices on a railroad crossing, people still choose to ignore them because since it is only the train crossing the car's path, the chance of collision is lower, so more drivers choose to do it, which leads to more deaths, this is where the horn comes in, it is used to capture a drivers' attention to let them know that the train is nearing the crossing, without it, the train could still be 1/4th a mile away from the crossing for all the driver knows, the horn is the only warning device in a railroad crossing situation that actually tells the driver the proximity between the train and the crossing, and as a result discourages drivers from trying to go around the crossing gates because they know how close the train is, and that the chance of collision is higher should they attempt to drive around anyway. I would have expected you to know this but judging by the childish nature of your last sentence, you are either too young or too stupid to comprehend real-world logic, go back to class kiddo, and come talk to the adults when you graduate.
New safety improvements of the crossings, That will not happen because people will still keeping going through them like 3 people were killed in a metra train crash today. The woman makes me Laugh for arresting a train , seriously. We still need horns anyway. Just move somewhere else where it's quiet. The train horns win this time
I kinda like that the trains are allowed to scream again here because the horns and the gp40 ambience puts me to sleep (atleast when I’m not right next to it)
honestly everybody that complains about trains needs to shut the actual hell up. Train engineers work hours and hours just to help people and the country. they need to sound their horn for safety because they take a long distance to stop. Leave the trains alone. it's not like they're trying to "tramautize" your kids with a horn powered by straight up O2. Most of these trains are in the suburbs and in the city. Where also planes fly at most 5,000 feet in the air. People in Bensenville, IL made a quiet zone and got the city to WASTE THEIR OWN MONEY on installing just 2 speakers that sound like a dying trombone. In Bensenville, It's right next to Chicago O'Hare airport. They never complain about the planes. Trains pass every hour on off peak hours and rush hours it's every 20. The Planes are EVERY MINUTE AND AT LEAST 2 AT THE SAME TIME! So people need to mind their own business and also i wanna keep hearing the Metra P5As. Also, in Villa Park, IL There is a CN line and a UP line. UP is a very busy line with freight and passenger traffic. CN has only 2 trains a day on that line and has a quiet zone. the UP doesn't and has 3 tracks and right behind homes. quiet zones just don't make sense.
It communicates nothing when the horns are so loud and without direction so you c an't even tell how close or far away they are. Constant alarms sounding are counterproductive to safety. Furthermore, the loud noises actually CAUSE accidents because drivers are startled by them. There is no reasonfor what they are doing except pure evil. They destroying innocent lives.
I will admit I don’t live in the US, but I don’t really get why trains sound their horn at crossings I can understand it if the crossing doesn’t have a warning system, but for crossings that DO have a warning system, I don’t get it Trains hardly ever sound their horns at crossings where I live (with the exception of “user worked” crossings, although even then the train might not sound its horn, especially if the crossing has a red and green light system (which are usually also fitted with an alarm, the newer red and green light units have an alarm built in, but older ones will have a separate alarm if one is fitted))
it is a holdover from the days before electronic equipment when locomotive whistles were the only way to warn of an oncoming train It's an additional safety factor so they just left the rule alone
Bruh ppl work wake up at 3 fucking am even earlier at AM hrs. Unfortunately were I live the train here horns longer at AM hrs of the night signs says "do not horn here" it does anyway. Wakes up my infant son that how loud it is. It even horn very long like on purpose. I didn't choosed the area my in-laws did I got married had to move in with my husband but now I wanna move cause train is to noisy and annoying
Ok don’t cry when a loved one gets hit and killed by the train when they don’t sound the horn! Jus because you been there 13 years that track probably older than you!
Cry about it. You CHOSE to live by the tracks, you GET to hear all the train sounds whether you like it or not. Train horns are not to annoy you, but to protect you and others from being hit, ESPECIALLY if you're an idiot who wears earbuds/headphones crossing the tracks. Besides, it's part of FRA regulations that the horn is blown for the crossing sequence for EVERY CROSSING. Keep in mind, the RAILROAD does not install quiet zones, the CITY does, and it is an extreme safety risk.
How do you decide to live near railroad tracks and not think they're gonna blow the horn? Trains are gonna blow their horns so deal with it. Either accept that trains will blow the horn or move out Karen. I lost braincells listening to this
So everyone should sell the family farm that's been around since before the Civil War, which is our ancestral home and our only livelihood, and move where exactly? What's wrong with the railroad just acting responsibly? Why should they not be compelled to act reasonably and be good neighbors?
@@wolfpowers2867the railroad was there for over a hundred years long before they lived there. you dont have to leave just because of a train horn just get used to it, you chose to live next to the tracks. trains have horns and they use them, always has been that way and that wont change
Imagine not liking the sound of a K5LA. This lady literally recorded a video to complain about train horns, but recorded a clip of a beautiful K3L at night lol. What a way to “prove” your point.
@@BigHorndb188 Hahaha yep, gotta love the spoiled brats that complain about railroad horns. I’ve lived next a rail line for my whole life, and not once have I complained. In fact, they have just become a pleasant sound to hear each day.
At some of our jobsites, I heard a distant K5la mostly, sometimes the p5 and rarely the early generation k5hl, and they sound awesome when they echo from distance.
Keolis can't do anything. They're the only the operator and they must follow federal laws. There's no exemption here. The crossings must be upgraded and the city is responsible for roads they own that cross the tracks.
But you do realize that homes near an ACTIVE RAILROAD have far less value then a home that’s not near an active railroad. She’s not gonna get as much as you think for her house. I live on Long Island in NY. My area isn’t a quiet zone. But on the north shore there are quiet zones.
Why trains blow their horns? It’s not just something on the tracks but the federal law is that engineers have to blow their horns at RR crossings so cars or pedestrians cross the tracks!! If you do not want to live near the tracks then live somewhere else because the horn is for everyone’s safety!!
That is bunk. Despite the Operation Lifesaver, the warning bells, lights, crossbucks, and all the rest, still 1,200 people a year are killed at crossings. Why? 1. Inattentive. People just wander through without a care that a train is approaching. Or they regarded the first train, but didn't look out for the second train. 2. Impatience. People don't want to wait for the train to pass. 3. Accidental. Cars and trucks get stuck on tracks, the signals didn't work, what have you.
@@delanorrosey4730 This is all true, but this does not present a good argument to ban train horns at crossings, in fact, if this were presented as an argument for quiet zones, it would be counter-productive
@@airgamer1403 Quiet Zones can easily lose their status from the FRA. The FRA has power that they shouldn't wield because they're not the ones suffering from the train horns. But there has to come a time where enough has been done to alleviate railroad fatalies. It's time to stop mandating preventative measures that no longer improve the situation. Or has improved the situation to the best of its abilities. Can't prevent incidental, accidental, suicidal, vandalism/sabotage, neglect/misuse,etc.
@@delanorrosey4730 Quiet Zones lose their status when the FRA finds that the crossing itself does not have enough safety features (gates on all both lanes of the road and barriers between both lanes of traffic) to make up for the lack of the horn, it absolutely should have the power it does because without it nobody else would regulate safety on the railroad. Nobody is "suffering" from train horns, yes, some people may be annoyed by it, but there is a fine line between being annoyed by something, and actually suffering as a result of it. And finally, if you want to prevent any crashes from happening, the best thing to do is to eliminate the grade crossing altogether and replace it with either an overpass or an underpass, as this would eliminate any risk of collision completely.
@@airgamer1403 All of those solutions require exorbitant amounts of money just to alleviate FRA regulations. Neither residents can afford to do so nor the railroads can afford maintenance. If the FRA wants the authority to remove Quiet Zone status from crossings, then that means the FRA should have to put in those countermeasures. That means much higher taxes for all. Otherwise, it is up to the FRA to either develop a more viable solution to the problem or give the residents the authority to remedy the situation. If that includes permanent Quiet Zones or fining the railroads for every time they sound the horn for non-emergencies (and thereby up the costs of shipping for all), then so be it.
Train horns are for protection…it’s obvious that if trains are sounding their horns it’s because of a railroad crossing or someone on the tracks. That’s your fault for buying a house next to the tracks.
If you can't stand the horns move somewhere else, it's that simple. The train crews can try to be as quiet as safely possible but problems happen with railroad crossings and then they have no choice. These quiet zones are never truly going to be full "quiet" zones. Also it's very likely the train came before you did, so I quote this Montgomery Gentry song, "I was here first, this is my piece of dirt and your ramblin' don't rattle me!"
Then by that logic, anybody can have a rock concert in my backyard at 2:30am.....or maybe a shooting range. And if you have any inkling to persist about complaining, I got something for you to blow. It's not a horn, but it is horn shaped and will blow a load of pleasure on your face.
Sound them Nathan Airchime Raised Letter K5LA train horns!!! No more quiet zones. Also, support the train horns and say no to them quiet zones!!! # Shave and a Haircut, Two Bits!!!!
I for one am *shocked* that these people who bought houses near 150 year old train tracks have to listen to loud train noises!! Too bad this story is old, looks like last year Waltham would have been a great spot to take some train videos!
I think it’s completely within your right to report on issues like this but please make sure you are providing actual facts. As your reporter said (and I’m paraphrasing) “..even at two thirty in the morning as shown by this video..” The video was not shot at 230am - the train in the video is a Commuter Rail train passing by which do not operate at those hours as you can see by looking at the schedule. Also, if you look at the sky, it is either dawn or dusk, not the middle of the night. Oversight on details like that can incite a bigger issue within the community.
Time code 1m shows nightime footage as the reporter is saying 'even at 2:30 in the morning.' I'll be checking all of your other comments to see if you're still making mistakes. Happy to help.

its for safety of people on or around the crossing if you don't like it move. How would you like to have a train sneak up on you and hit some one you cant hear them unless the blow their horn as the noise travels from the side of the train to the back not ahead of the locomotive.
@blackcruze1379: There's plenty of freight railroads in Chicago and Northwest Indiana where the engineers continuously blow their horns round the clock. Too many drivers disobey railroad crossing protection devices and try to beat the trains!!!
Train Tracks have Trains. Trains have Horns. And if you live next to a busy Commuter Railroad like the MBTA, YOU'D BETTER expect to hear those horns at least 10 times a day. If you don't like trains blowing their horns, MOVE AWAY from the Train Tracks. It's not that hard. I live next to train tracks myself, and I have NEVER complained about train horns, because at the end of the day, we chose to live here. The train tracks aren't going anywhere, but YOU can if you don't like it. Always remember Karens: Stop, Look, Listen, Live, and if you get stuck on the train tracks and can't get off, you'd better get out of your vehicle. Vehicles can be replaced, but your lives cannot be.
It's sad how the FRA has really bad regulations. Yes, to railfans the horn requirement is a very nice thing, but to regular residents, they have had enough. Seriously, a person trying to just simply sleep at night, only to be awaken to the horn. If the U.S. wants to have railroads as good as Europe's, then they need to GET RID of these rules in such locations.
HOW ABOUT NO TRAINS NEED TO SOUND THEIR HORNS TO SAVE PEOPLES LIVES ESPECIALLY AT NON GATED CROSSINGS OR UNCONTROLLED RAILROAD CROSSINGS IMAGINE LIVING BY THOSE FOR A SECOND

Ok don’t cry when a loved one gets hit and killed by the train when they don’t sound the horn! Jus because you been there 13 years that track probably older than you!
that line is at least 100+ years old.
@@Mike-jv8bv And yet it still rings true.
1:37 lady your speaking louder than the train horn so, BE QUIET!!!
The sound of a train horn gives the sound of harmony and a orderly pattern, but the noise of her brawling is the disorder and chaos.
That’s cool. Hope to hear those horns keep on blaring loud and strong. Would u rather the risk of death. Or can u have some common sense and move
If they don't want no horns then make it where they can't sue if someone gets hit
Everything about the horn is a lie😂
Eliminate The Grade Crossing
Cry about it. You CHOSE to live by the tracks, you GET to hear all the train sounds whether you like it or not. Train horns are not to annoy you, but to protect you and others from being hit, ESPECIALLY if you're an idiot who wears earbuds/headphones crossing the tracks. Besides, it's part of FRA regulations that the horn is blown for the crossing sequence for EVERY CROSSING. Keep in mind, the RAILROAD does not install quiet zones, the CITY does, and it is an extreme safety risk.
I have a better idea Move away from the tracks the trains came way before you did
Is simple, just close the crossings nearby and gets sorted.
How do you decide to live near railroad tracks and not think they're gonna blow the horn? Trains are gonna blow their horns so deal with it. Either accept that trains will blow the horn or move out Karen. I lost braincells listening to this
Imagine calling the police on trains doing its job
I hate quiet zones
Their trains, they make noise like everything else karens
Imagine calling the police on a train
@HeartYshii exactly
Yeah, because the sound of properly tuned train horn gives that pleasant musical tune while karens just brawl and sound very unpleasant
The train was there first. Karen should either deal with it or move house
Calling the police over train horns! Lol
Don’t live by those tracks move away
So everyone should sell the family farm that's been around since before the
Civil War, which is our ancestral home and our only livelihood, and move where exactly? What's wrong with the railroad just acting responsibly? Why should they not be compelled to act reasonably and be good neighbors?
@@wolfpowers2867the railroad was there for over a hundred years long before they lived there. you dont have to leave just because of a train horn just get used to it, you chose to live next to the tracks. trains have horns and they use them, always has been that way and that wont change
Imagine not liking the sound of a K5LA. This lady literally recorded a video to complain about train horns, but recorded a clip of a beautiful K3L at night lol. What a way to “prove” your point.
Certified foamer moment
@@fostoriadistrictrailfan3907 YES ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE STUPID AND DON'T KNOW THIS!
Because it sounds like music. She would rather listen to hard rock or hip hop instead of a distant train horn.
@@BigHorndb188 Hahaha yep, gotta love the spoiled brats that complain about railroad horns. I’ve lived next a rail line for my whole life, and not once have I complained. In fact, they have just become a pleasant sound to hear each day.
At some of our jobsites, I heard a distant K5la mostly, sometimes the p5 and rarely the early generation k5hl, and they sound awesome when they echo from distance.
If you move next to a rail line, you asked for it...
Karen doesn’t know nothin about trains! Like at all!
@Hirohito Drip Productions huh
If she moves away from the tracks there won’t be any trains.
Good luck Karen, call Keolis management. If that doesn't work, write to the FRA!
Keolis can't do anything. They're the only the operator and they must follow federal laws. There's no exemption here. The crossings must be upgraded and the city is responsible for roads they own that cross the tracks.
@@Roboboy I was making a sarcastic reference to her being a "Karen", and wanting to speak to the manager or the police
I strongly encourage the engineers sound the horns times 5 just to piss people off. Don't like the horns? Move!
But you do realize that homes near an ACTIVE RAILROAD have far less value then a home that’s not near an active railroad. She’s not gonna get as much as you think for her house. I live on Long Island in NY. My area isn’t a quiet zone. But on the north shore there are quiet zones.
No just Lay on the Horn LOL
Why trains blow their horns? It’s not just something on the tracks but the federal law is that engineers have to blow their horns at RR crossings so cars or pedestrians cross the tracks!! If you do not want to live near the tracks then live somewhere else because the horn is for everyone’s safety!!
That is bunk. Despite the Operation Lifesaver, the warning bells, lights, crossbucks, and all the rest, still 1,200 people a year are killed at crossings. Why?
1. Inattentive. People just wander through without a care that a train is approaching. Or they regarded the first train, but didn't look out for the second train.
2. Impatience. People don't want to wait for the train to pass.
3. Accidental. Cars and trucks get stuck on tracks, the signals didn't work, what have you.
@@delanorrosey4730 This is all true, but this does not present a good argument to ban train horns at crossings, in fact, if this were presented as an argument for quiet zones, it would be counter-productive
@@airgamer1403 Quiet Zones can easily lose their status from the FRA. The FRA has power that they shouldn't wield because they're not the ones suffering from the train horns.
But there has to come a time where enough has been done to alleviate railroad fatalies. It's time to stop mandating preventative measures that no longer improve the situation. Or has improved the situation to the best of its abilities.
Can't prevent incidental, accidental, suicidal, vandalism/sabotage, neglect/misuse,etc.
@@delanorrosey4730 Quiet Zones lose their status when the FRA finds that the crossing itself does not have enough safety features (gates on all both lanes of the road and barriers between both lanes of traffic) to make up for the lack of the horn, it absolutely should have the power it does because without it nobody else would regulate safety on the railroad. Nobody is "suffering" from train horns, yes, some people may be annoyed by it, but there is a fine line between being annoyed by something, and actually suffering as a result of it. And finally, if you want to prevent any crashes from happening, the best thing to do is to eliminate the grade crossing altogether and replace it with either an overpass or an underpass, as this would eliminate any risk of collision completely.
@@airgamer1403 All of those solutions require exorbitant amounts of money just to alleviate FRA regulations. Neither residents can afford to do so nor the railroads can afford maintenance.
If the FRA wants the authority to remove Quiet Zone status from crossings, then that means the FRA should have to put in those countermeasures. That means much higher taxes for all.
Otherwise, it is up to the FRA to either develop a more viable solution to the problem or give the residents the authority to remedy the situation. If that includes permanent Quiet Zones or fining the railroads for every time they sound the horn for non-emergencies (and thereby up the costs of shipping for all), then so be it.
Train horns are for protection…it’s obvious that if trains are sounding their horns it’s because of a railroad crossing or someone on the tracks. That’s your fault for buying a house next to the tracks.
“Im frustrated at the T for not communicating about the horns” oh yeah like they’re totally going to waste their time listening to your complaints
Arresting a train is quite funny!
If you can't stand the horns move somewhere else, it's that simple. The train crews can try to be as quiet as safely possible but problems happen with railroad crossings and then they have no choice. These quiet zones are never truly going to be full "quiet" zones. Also it's very likely the train came before you did, so I quote this Montgomery Gentry song, "I was here first, this is my piece of dirt and your ramblin' don't rattle me!"
Amen to that last sentence!
Then by that logic, anybody can have a rock concert in my backyard at 2:30am.....or maybe a shooting range. And if you have any inkling to persist about complaining, I got something for you to blow. It's not a horn, but it is horn shaped and will blow a load of pleasure on your face.
move somewhere else in this economy ?!?!
Imagine its still not a quiet zone
yeah well it’s passing a railroad crossing to warn other people
Woo hoo I love loud horns
Sound them Nathan Airchime Raised Letter K5LA train horns!!! No more quiet zones. Also, support the train horns and say no to them quiet zones!!! # Shave and a Haircut, Two Bits!!!!
I for one am *shocked* that these people who bought houses near 150 year old train tracks have to listen to loud train noises!!
Too bad this story is old, looks like last year Waltham would have been a great spot to take some train videos!
Move to dallas farmers branch and good luck sleeping i deal with this horn for a long time its actually relaxing
KEEP THE TRAIN HORN. You moved near the tracks you asked for loudness. Train horns keep people safe and could save a lot of lives.
This reminds me of the people that live near a air base and complain about jet noise. In some cases the city wouldn’t exist without the air base.
Omg not complying shut up they just said that the safety measures are up to the crossing
I hope put Quite zone
That sounds like my kind of paradise. I would like to see about living in a place like that. Railroad tracks in the backyard.
HORN IS FOR YOUR SAFETY, what if you, someone or your loved ones get hurt 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I think it’s completely within your right to report on issues like this but please make sure you are providing actual facts. As your reporter said (and I’m paraphrasing) “..even at two thirty in the morning as shown by this video..” The video was not shot at 230am - the train in the video is a Commuter Rail train passing by which do not operate at those hours as you can see by looking at the schedule. Also, if you look at the sky, it is either dawn or dusk, not the middle of the night. Oversight on details like that can incite a bigger issue within the community.
Could have been an equipment move, were there people in the train or was it empty.
@@Ham549 again, too bright out to be 2:30, and that looked like just a standard MBTA set
Time code 1m shows nightime footage as the reporter is saying 'even at 2:30 in the morning.' I'll be checking all of your other comments to see if you're still making mistakes. Happy to help.
@@bonermcgee955 what is time code 1m???

Trains sound their horn at crossings for saftey, it’s what most people don’t get. and the fact she’s wearing a Mask at her own home, JUST FUCKING WOW.
Why is this bad? You get to hear all the horns now
well I don't know I moved next to these train tracks so I don't know why I'm hearing horns duh 😅😅😅😅
its for safety of people on or around the crossing if you don't like it move. How would you like to have a train sneak up on you and hit some one you cant hear them unless the blow their horn as the noise travels from the side of the train to the back not ahead of the locomotive.
try living next to a railroad with freight traffic
@blackcruze1379: There's plenty of freight railroads in Chicago and Northwest Indiana where the engineers continuously blow their horns round the clock. Too many drivers disobey railroad crossing protection devices and try to beat the trains!!!
Train Tracks have Trains. Trains have Horns. And if you live next to a busy Commuter Railroad like the MBTA, YOU'D BETTER expect to hear those horns at least 10 times a day.
If you don't like trains blowing their horns, MOVE AWAY from the Train Tracks. It's not that hard. I live next to train tracks myself, and I have NEVER complained about train horns, because at the end of the day, we chose to live here. The train tracks aren't going anywhere, but YOU can if you don't like it.
Always remember Karens: Stop, Look, Listen, Live, and if you get stuck on the train tracks and can't get off, you'd better get out of your vehicle. Vehicles can be replaced, but your lives cannot be.
If you complain about train horns its your own fault for moving there
It's sad how the FRA has really bad regulations. Yes, to railfans the horn requirement is a very nice thing, but to regular residents, they have had enough. Seriously, a person trying to just simply sleep at night, only to be awaken to the horn. If the U.S. wants to have railroads as good as Europe's, then they need to GET RID of these rules in such locations.
I’m gonna sue if I have to , no sleep , I’m in Algodones , NM
Keep the horn zones because once a accident happens its gonna be all the neighboors fault for protesting for a quiet zone
Same in Meriden, CT, gov never setup a Quiet Zone, every day. The train cross around the city with horns just like a DUI person.
Let's silent the Train Horns for good
Na buddy the train horns wins. People just need to move.
Complainer 😠😠😠😠😠🖓🖓🖓🖓🖓 I don't want to hear this BULL SHIT.
No
Lets silent people like you for good
HOW ABOUT NO TRAINS NEED TO SOUND THEIR HORNS TO SAVE PEOPLES LIVES ESPECIALLY AT NON GATED CROSSINGS OR UNCONTROLLED RAILROAD CROSSINGS IMAGINE LIVING BY THOSE FOR A SECOND
