QUIET ZONES ARE A BAD IDEA, at my last residence 1,000 ft. from the UPRR mp 372 (Bellaire Blvd.) a FATAL accident occured & the Ford F250 pickup had to be loaded on 2 flatbed trailers, couldn't be towed, a KCS freight with DPU drug it aboout a half mile from the impact point, (Without the DPU, it may have taken a mile to stop the train.). Cheers from Deer Park, Tx. where I'm 2 miles from the closest track & if outside can hear trains on the PTA/UPRR line at Tx-225 & Center St. on a cool evening. ;-)

[@Rory_Shade]

This is a thing? In British Columbia, here in the lower mainland, the freight trains going in and out of the port of Vancouver blow their horns all the time, regardless of what residential neighborhood they travel through. The long distance and commuter trains do the same. I don't think I would be comfortable around a rail crossing if I didn't know I'd hear the train coming a mile away via its whistle.

[@eLiZaBeThKoEhLeR]

....but the horn is an effing warning signal. That's how I learned to stay away from railroad tracks when I was a kid somewhere around 3-4 yrs old. Sure I ran away to hide under the slide at a nearby playground when I heard the thing, but the horn is what stuck in my memory. it's what made me form the connection railroad tracks=danger. Stay away. I can't believe this asinine idea even entered someone's head "no horn zone". Bulls**t.

[@Michael-ou4ph]

Good grief... Be very aware of all intersections where cars are ever present! Motor vehicles don't honk at all intersections so be careful!

i think you are the best train person ever. trains have horns for a reason. you should have known the train noise consequences. if you dont want the noise dont live near it. or have your job near it

[@dancoulson6579]

I personally think that a train horn is a critical peice of safety equipment. It's basically the only thing the engineer has at their disposal to prevent accidents. It can't stop quickly or swerve to avoid a collision, it can only blast the horn to warn others to move out of the way.

[@lonewolfette]

Love the air horn! You should have blown it longer, Alan! ;)

[@TheACman42]

Awesome video Alan! I hate quiet zones, they take away the enjoyment of railfanning! Over here, we have quiet zones in Sugar Land, Stafford, Missouri City, and along the UP Terminal Sub. I would love to go there and show the horn support only if I lived in Florida, and I SUPPORT HORNS ALL THE WAY!!!!!! Screw quiet zones....

[@TheACman42]

Flatonia is a great railfanning place, but the only problem is that they made the Glidden Sub there a quiet zone.

[@krishseshadri7536]

[@celestinofaginas1281]

Larry R Wendell Jr you want to know something? A couple months ago I read this article about some guy on a personal/probably merciless mission, yes mission to KO horns being blown at grade crossings, particularly in Bethlehem, PA. What he doesn't realize is horns are used to warn cars, pedestrians and so on of a train's approach or worst case scenario, warn a trespasser to get off immediately. I'm hoping this guy fails in his mission. There's at least a few railroads somewhere in the U.S. where there's at least one line that's a quiet zone the entire way, literally.

[@LukeSkywalker-uu2us]

Sorry late posting. What is the function of train horn in railroad crossing with gates? And why the last blast must be in US as late as the train passes the crossing? In Finland, Europe train dont blow a horn anymore at all. They ignore it before the level crossing without gates, bell, light, stop sign and its location EVEN behind the bend. The regulation changed in 2005. In 1973 they stop to use the horn before crossing with gates and while passing another train. The same time daylight running lights were taken on use. It was changed to hight beam in 1992 and flurescent colour sticker installed 2013 on the nose of locomotive.

This is one reason why railroads are now equipping locomotives with CCTV cameras (Usually on conductor side of windshield on Amtrak, BNSF, CSX, KCS and UP locomotives, NS has cameras on engineer side of newer locomotives (They appear as a white box just inside conductor side of windshield near center post.) The no horn ordinances can be repealed, just don't vote for Republicans in Congress as well as state legislature..

[@AbelG8781]

[@classichank60]

It's not a partisan issue. My hometown of Berwyn, IL (a few miles from Chicago) is a liberal, democrat city that has imposed the "Quiet Zone" for trains. Canadian National and BNSF go through the city and ever since, there's been a notable increase in accidents and deaths crossing incidents. You're right about Quiet Zones being dangerous, but just want to put my 2 cents that it's not partisan.

[@delanorrosey4730]

How many dashcams are there of trains sounding their horns, yet still hit something? Why? Because someone knows that the horn is sounding that a train is coming and they have two intentions in mind: 1) Beat the train. 2) Suicide by train. New Zealand has quite a few videos of close calls, regardless of the train horn. The woman locked in a police car hit by a train? The cops didn't respond to the horn because it sounded normal to them as the train approached the crossing. Didn't prevent injury to her as she was handcuffed and locked in a police vehicle parked on the tracks. The fatality of a woman hit by a train in Champagne, Illinois? Three other people ran across the tracks, despite the warnings. Railfanner videotaped her getting splattered like a tomato across the front of the lead engine. Train sounded its horn. Minivan driven by mom speeding across train station parking lot to beat the train to the crossing? Hit by by not ONE train, but TWO trains. Mom and 2 of the 4 kids dead. Other 2 kids critically injured. Minivan was smaller than a sardine can.
