CSX: Meetings and Quiet Zones

"Sease said one possibility is a "quiet zone" that can be applied for through the Federal Railroad Administration. At these rail crossings, train operators don't need to blow their horns, but this requires costly warning devices and barriers that effectively seal off crossings to cars and trucks as trains approach. He did not know the total costs." -- The Ledger

That's an option. But, it's a long process. Another option is are wayside rail crossing horns. But, neither help with traffic, especially on Florida Ave.

This story is just starting. -- Lakeland Local
