Tim-
Windsor has experienced the same noise concerns. Our Town Engineering Dept has recently contacted with a consultant to conduct a railroad grade crossing quite zone assessment. We are trying to establish the probable cost to comply with the Quiet Zone program to see if we want to pursue it.

Subject: Wallingford Train noise a hurdle to TOD

*Message sent from a system outside of UConn.*
Good Afternoon!
I write today to inquire as to whether your community is having issues with excessive train noise.
We remain grateful for the expanded train service along the Hartford Line, but are now convinced that the deafening decibel level and frequency of train horns are a direct impediment to fulfilling our TOD aspirations. Train horns can be heard clearly from 2 miles away in any direction.
We are in the process of escalating the issue to State agencies and Legislators. Is your community having a similar experience? Please let me know as there is power in numbers.
Hope all is well...and...thanks in advance for your response.
Tim
