This has been a hot topic in the Chicago suburbs ever since that school bus accident on the U.P.and the Amtrak/truck wreck a few years ago(Chicago required the railroads to be elevated years ago). I believe either the state passed a law or the FRA issued a rule requiring trains to blow 24/7 but a number of suburbs objected. If I remember right, a compromise was reached where towns could prohibit blowing at night, but had to install fully protected crossings(4-way gates or roadway barriers) by a certain year. Of course cost and who pays are issues.
