This should give you more information. Because of its train schedules, Amtrak restricts the times when work can be done on the tracks.

I put the below on Craig's List. More people see that than See Click Fix. Also, can anyone put a sign up at the train station? Or somewhere downtown?
On CL:
Sick of being woken up at all hours by these train horns?
An Amtrak official has promised to help but needs more complaints. Unk Daros hasn't had enough complaints to act on on this. We need more people to complain about this disruption so they can contact FRA to try and establish a quiet zone. Here are numbers the for complaints:
Amtrak 1-800-288-1310
Unk 203-488-8394
Please note this will be going on until the anticipated completion date of March 2014. That's MARCH 2014!!!!!!!!!

No point in contacting Amtrak, their hands are tied. Contact the regulators and politicians who have the ability and authority to get something done.
Maybe we can record the train whistles and play them at the next RTM meeting?
Mary (Invitado)
I seriously doubt the RTM will give a hoot. Maybe those who are affected by it if we're lucky. Sorry to be a cynic but Branford has an as-long-as-it's-not-in-my-backyard mentality.
As for the politicians, I have no faith.

It is important to get as many affected people to make these calls or i guarantee nothing will be done..Also a contact to Congresswoman Rosa Delauro may help come to a solution.
She has helped many in the past. Remember this is a 3-4 year project.If sleep is important to you please add yourself to the list.

i guess you don't live near the tracks.....and camping next to them is quite different from living near them. we are awakened almost every night by loud horns and jackhammering that actually shakes our house. and we live about a quarter of a mile away.
so please do not accuse us all of "whining". our sleep is very important to us.
I'm a person, too. (Invitado)
Well "person", I guess this isn't your problem then, is it? So why don't you go away.
Or do you really like trolling SeeClickFix to post derogatory comments?

Isn't "the greatest good for the greatest number" part of the Democrats' new motto? If so, good luck, they will just blow you off, sorry to say (pun intended). I hear the train whistles all the time as well and it frustrates me too; it is becoming a metaphor for politics overall, it seems. The politicians want what they want, and who cares about the public.
My daughter says that it is rare that something is so bad that you cannot turn it into a funny story......
