Use of Locomotive Horns at Highway-Rail Grade Crossings

Under 49 CFR part 222, FRA seeks to collect information from railroads and public authorities in order to increase safety at public highway-rail grade crossings nationwide by requiring that locomotive horns be sounded when trains approach and pass through these crossings or by ensuring that a safety level at least equivalent to that provided by routine locomotive horn sounding exists for quiet zone corridors in which such horn sounding is silenced. This collection of information is collected as needed and it involves both reporting and recordkeeping requirements.
