<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Well yes, I am glad to hear everyone’s viewpoint on this. Being right or wrong is only relative. All we have is our opinions and the power of persuasion. Even technical studies and references are only worth their power to convince people.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">What I am hearing is: Nothing can fix the problem, but in case you doubt that, there is no problem that needs fixing.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">But that goes to the larger point about grade crossings. That being what we are discussing here in regard to quiet zones and whether they are more dangerous than normal crossings. I think they are. The U.P. thinks they are. Seemingly most railroaders on other forums think they are as well. The people who say quiet zones are safe are those who represent the noise complainers clustered around the railroad in the cities. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">But here, the jury is still out on the matter. Anybody have any thoughts?</span></p>
