Train whistle rule faces delays amid safety debate
In Acton Massachusetts residents object to whistle bans, arguing noise damage and hearing risk. Federal officials cite a 1992 study showing fewer crossing accidents with whistle warnings and push for 96 decibel sound levels at 100 feet under the Swift Rail Development Act. The FRA has delayed enforcement amid local opposition while warning that quiet crossings with no gates leave pedestrians at risk. 1995 traffic deaths reached 579, with a noted drop in 1996.
