schlimm, That is interesting.  I did think that second sentence starting with the word “But” did not seem quite right for the context.  That is a case of bad writing in the article I linked.  It really has two different meanings, but I think the meaning that you have found is the correct one.  When he talks about the danger arising from the lack of a train horn, he means that you just can’t get rid of the train horn to make the crossing quiet.  You need to compensate for the lack of the train horn with the quiet crossing concept. The other meaning would be that the lack of a train horn with the quiet crossing concept adds danger.   Or in other words, the quiet zone crossing is more dangerous than a non-quiet zone crossing.  But that point does seem to be the point that Union Pacific is making in their statement leading the quote.  But it leaves it as being entirely the opinion of U.P. with no quantification or references for their position.  I wonder what the U.P. bases their quiet zone belief on.
