Temporary Cessation of Sounding of Locomotive Horn

الملخص

FRA is issuing an Interim Final Order in which The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company would be ordered to temporarily cease the sounding of locomotive horns at a specific crossing within Spokane County, Washington. As provided by statute, the Secretary of Transportation, in order to promote the quiet of communities affected by rail operations and the development of innovative safety measures at highway-rail crossings, may, in connection with demonstration of proposed new supplementary safety measures, order a railroad to temporarily cease the sounding of locomotive horns at such crossings.
