Abstract:

In 1990, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) studied train whistle bans in Florida. The study shows a strong correlation between nighttime whistle bans and the number of accidents at highway-rail crossings. This report summarizes and updates the second edition of the study. The report also incorporates FRA administrative decisions issued subsequent to earlier editions of Florida's Train Whistle Ban.
