<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;">My conclusion is not based on empirical evidence of quiet zone statistics on crashes. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;">My conclusion is only based on my analysis of the logic behind the quiet zone principle.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;">However, it would be interesting to see the empirical evidence. But as you say, if there are not many quiet zones, it may not yet be possible to draw any conclusion. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;">Union Pacific says quiet zones endanger the public, and the U.P. customers and employees. I wonder how they came to that conclusion. Maybe they did the same thing I am doing by looking at the role the train horn, and principle of eliminating it.</span></p>
