Yes the engineer is permitted to sound the horn in an emergency, and the engineer did so in this case.  However, the nature and duration of the emergency horn option is not defined because it will necessarily be impulsive depending on the engineer’s perception of the emergency.  In this case the emergency horn signal came too late to get a response in time to avoid the crash.  Whereas a standard crossing horn signal may have alerted the truck driver in time to respond if the driver were oblivious to the danger.  If the crossing horn signal is not essential, why not eliminate it across the board rather than in specific quiet zones?  If it is essential, how can you justify eliminating it for quiet zones?
