<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Interestingly, my objection to lack of clarity of the 1995 report conclusion has been addressed in the 2000 report. This is called <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Updated Analysis of Train Whistle Bans January 2000</span>, and it breaks down the difference made by the train horn for each type of crossing. So after throwing out the 1995 report, I'll take this 2000 report.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;"><a href="http://www.fra.dot.gov/eLib/Details/L02686">http://www.fra.dot.gov/eLib/Details/L02686</a></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Quote from the report:</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">“The analysis showed that an average of 62 percent more collisions occurred at whistle ban crossings equipped with gates than at similar crossings across the nation without bans. FRA will use this value as the increased risk associated with whistle bans instead of the 84 percent cited in the Nationwide Study of Train Whistle Bans released in April 1995.” </span></p>
