“In addition to improving safety at the 10 intersections where car, bike and pedestrian traffic crosses railroad tracks, the upgrades will allow train operators to forgo blowing the train horn when approaching the crossings, potentially resulting in a 70% decrease in the train horn noise in Eugene. Trains still will use short horn blasts around the switching yard and the Eugene Depot and have the discretion to sound the horn in emergency situations.”

    I remember this being talked about 10 years ago. It’s good to hear it wasn’t abandoned.
