Quiet Zones

Federal Railroad Administration requires that locomotive horns be sounded as a warning to highway users at public highway-rail crossings.

Information to establish a quiet zone is at www.fra.dot.gov

Use of locomotive horns is an essential component to highway-rail crossing safety. In addition to highway warning devices such as crossbucks, lights and gates, use of the whistle alerts motorists and pedestrians of oncoming trains.

Whistle Bans Governed by Federal Regulators
