Passenger Trains > FL 80 mile quiet zonesDate: 07/06/19 16:28 FL 80 mile quiet zones Author: Lackawanna484 The Sun-Sentinel reports that quiet zones are now in place for FEC and Tri-Rail between Miami and West Palm Beach.
I believe Tri-Rail has been complete for several months, Should be interesting to see if this has an impact on the body count. https://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/miami-dade/fl-ne-miami-last-quiet-zone-20190706-ib2i567vtbd4djnc3rr6zk5nae-story.html Posted from Android Date: 07/06/19 19:34 Re: FL 80 mile quiet zones Author: gbmott Given the number that are suicides I doubt that there will be significant change,

i think if you quit blowing the horn altogether,it wouldn't have much effect on the number of road crossing collisions. Date: 07/07/19 06:04 Re: FL 80 mile quiet zones Author: Lackawanna484 The number of vehicle collisions with trains has dropped noticeably with the quad gates and lane dividers.
The go around made great local TV news though. Posted from Android Date: 07/07/19 10:13 Re: FL 80 mile quiet zones Author: chess The ex Seaboard, ex SCL, ex CSX, SFRC between west Palm Beach and Miami has had many crossings where the horns are not used for quite a while. Ever since the double track was installed several years ago, most of the major crossings were rebuilt with 4 quadrant gates and a concrete divider. The smaller, less used crossings might now be part of the quiet zones. I didn't read the article..
