  • Norm Klapper presented an update on his campaign for “Stop The Train Noise”. He presented research on the volume of the train warning whistles with the Federal regulation now that at each crossing it is mandatory for 2 long, 2 short and one 15 second horn. Norm shared reports of some other communities the costs they would incur to install more secure crossings arms so the trains would not be required to blast at each crossing. His next steps are to stay in touch with Boulder and Longmont and with the work in those communities and to write Congress to encourage lowering the decibels on the horns.
