<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">Ed,</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">The article says the quiet zone was short lived.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I guess that means the quiet was short lived, since the quiet zone itself remains intact while the horn blowing is just a legal exception within the quiet zone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The article also refers to horn blowing at Pine St. on an as-needed basis, suggesting that it might be needed sometimes and not at other times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, as I understand it, the as-needed basis for Pine Street will be needed all the time because of inadequate visibility.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And as you point out, horn blowing is always required on an as-needed basis within a quiet zone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">So I conclude that, until something is changed with the Pine St. crossing they have a quiet zone with horn blowing always performed at one crossing within the quiet zone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></p>
