Train quiet zone to be established at Walnut Ave. in Fremont - ...

A proposed railroad quiet zone at Walnut Avenue will be established in an effort to limit the amount of horn noise generated from passing freight trains.

Oh come all ye squashed children . . . in the name of a good night's sleep.

[Sleepless in Fremont]

The entire stretch of track from the Centerville train station west to the 880 should be a "quite zone". The entire length has 2 sets of tracks and about 4 crossings. I would say that there is an average of about 1 train per hour passing through that section. It does seem that the Amtrak and ACE trains seem to have quiter horns. The freight trains seem to be the loudest.

[Yet to sleep in Fremont]

I have not slept a single night peacefully since i moved to Centerville neighborhood of Fremont because of train horns. City council is not moving the Quite Zone fast enough . More than 10000 units in Fremont are affected by this. I don;t see good leadership at the council. Amtrak also makes lot of noise. The honking has to stop.

[About freaking time]

Those train engineers abuse the rule of using the horn more than 2 times in 20 seconds which is illegal in other states. Sometimes they pull the cord for 10 seconds at a time. Train horn systems are so archaic and make too much noise pollution.
Im no where near the tracks and it can be heard all the way down to Central Park.

It has been 5 months since money was allocated for the quiet zones yet nothing has been implemented. Trains are still blowing at all hours of the day. What are they doing with this money?
