Noisy train horns eyed down in Cedar Rapids quiet zone push
Cedar Rapids officials led by traffic engineer Myers aim to curb train horn noise as downtown grows. Projects on Second and Fourth avenues SE include gates and medians at Union Pacific crossings to enable a future quiet zone designation by the FRA. Union Pacific will install lights and gates while the city funds the work with road-use taxes and bonds.
