Will I still hear train horns if Quiet Zones are implemented?

Yes. Freight and passenger trains will still sound horns in emergencies, such as when a car or pedestrian is on the tracks. Trains are also required to sound horns when accelerating from a stopped position and when crews and equipment are working on the track. Also, the crossings at Crane Road and Evanston are not within Tipp City limits. The trains will still be sounding horns at those crossings.
