I just read in USA Today (12/18/2003 page 16A) a regulation proposal that would set the maximum volume of train horns and whistles at 110 decibels (as loud as a car horn) and prohibit sounding the horn or whistle more than 20 seconds from a crossing. It seems people have been complaining and the government is listening. This proposal doesn't seem like a good idea to me . In fact I think it sounds unsafe for motorists and pedestrians. The Federal Railroad Administration will take comments from the public for 60 days.
