I read about the railway situation in my local paper the other week. They were trying to get them to institute a no-horns rule in the area, which is not likely to succeed.
A passenger railway in a nearby city has the no-horns rule, but that case is different because the line was dead for more than a decade before it was revived, the train has a strict speed limit while in the city, the only at-grade crossings (2 or 3) are well-protected with gates, lights, bells, and pedestrian mazes, and it travels through a dense residential area.
