Thank you for reporting this issue. We have contacted the railroad to have them investigate the excessive train horn noise. We will let you know their response. As you know, the City is working very hard to permanently silence the train horns at the 59th St crossing. We can assure you that a solution is very close! To keep up to date on the progress of this project, please visit our website at http://www.cityofshawnee.org/Web/ShawneeCMS.nsf/vwContent/TrainHornNoiseUpdate?OpenDocument

BNSF has stated they will continue to monitor for train horn compliance in this area and do specific job safety briefings regarding train horn compliance with the train crews operating within the crossing limits. Their operations division is not able to pull engine numbers and research all the train horn complaints from the residents as they come in repeatedly. BNSF stated they have committed to periodic checks and testing for Train Horn compliance. They also stated you can submit train horn complaints to their website at http://www.bnsfmedia.com/go/inquiry/7090/
