[quote user="tree68"] [quote user="Bucyrus"]If the quiet zone was irrelevant to the crash, why would the U.P. care if quiet zones compromise safety?[/quote] Apples and oranges. The incident in question, however, involved a driver who, if I remember the earlier timeline correctly, entered the crossing essentially before a normal train would have begun sounding its horn, rendering this point moot.[/quote] Yes, that is exactly what happened.  The driver entered the crossing when the normal horn signal would have been blowing had the crossing not been in a quiet zone.  Had the driver been warned by the horn during this critical point, he very well might have backed off and avoided the crash.  The point is certainly not rendered moot.  Quite the contrary, the point is critically relevant.
