Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.
QUOTE: Originally posted by wncrails I have seen several of these along CSX lines in eastern North Carolina. All of the crossings I have seen these installed were not quiet zones, at least not during the day. The explainantion for the barrier installation I was told was it was due to the higher speed limit of the line. Train speed is around 50-60 on the old ACL into Rocky Mount. What is the speed limit for trains though that area?
QUOTE: I don't think quiet zones are really a solution. If the state/county/city was truly serious, they would shell out the $$$ for a grade separation. Although more exspensive, it is the safest solution.
