New Quiet Zones To Help With Train Noise Pollution

The blaring of a train horn is soon to disappear from some Marion County railway crossings.
Marion County has partnered with CSX Transportation and the Florida Department of Transportation to establish three quiet zones at track intersections along U.S. Highway 301.
The quiet zones are located at County Road 42, 500 feet east of U.S. 301, Southeast 135th Street, 1700 feet east of U.S. 301 and Southeast 147th Street, 4500 feet east of U.S. 301.
These quiet zones are established in areas along railroad tracks where train horns are not routinely sounded. Trains are no longer required to sound their horns at these intersections, unless deemed necessary for safety reasons, according to the Marion County Office of the County Engineer.

you have few more sound barrier objective over there. Good news if it happens, Course if l am sleeping on my only ear I can hear out of, I don't hear anything. I use to walk my dog up in the church pasture. It was very loud and the CYV will be 1/4 mile closer. But, you get use to it, I use to work on Pig farm in high school, couldn't stand the smell at first, after month I hardly noticed it.
