Dear Sir or
o Madam:
This letter is sent as notification
n
th
hat Douglas County
C
has coompleted woork to establissh a railroad Quiet
Zone alon
ng the Union Pacific
P
Railro
oad and BNSF
F Railway traacks parallel tto US Highway 85 from A
Atrium
Drive in Castle
C
Rock, CO
C to Highw
way 67/Manhaardt Street in S
Sedalia, CO.
The Quieet Zone inclu
udes the two public crosssings mentionned above, aas well as thhe five (5) pprivate
crossings between thesse two publicc crossings. Those
T
of you w
who are propperty owners along this coorridor
have been
n aware of ourr efforts over the last severral years. Youu will see signns installed on each approaach to
the privatte crossings th
hat indicate ‘N
No Train Horrn’ is being ssounded. Pleaase note that tthe individuall train
engineers will still hav
ve the right to sound horns if they feel itt’s warranted within the quuiet zone. Wee have
appreciateed your suppo
ort of this purrsuit, and send
d this corresppondence to m
make you awaare that locom
motive
train horn
ns will cease sounding
s
on Tuesday,
T
Nov
vember 25, 20014 at 12:01 aam.
You will also see the ‘No Train Horn’
H
signs in
nstalled on eeach approachh to the Highhway 67/Mannhardt
Street cro
ossing. At thee Atrium Driv
ve crossing, two
t
stationarry horns, calleed ‘Wayside Horns’ havee been
installed; one on each approach. Th
hese horns willl sound in pllace of the traain locomotivve horns, at a lower
decibel level. So whilee this crossing
g is included in
i the Quiet Z
Zone limits, itt is not truly a quiet crossinng, as
the Waysside Horns seerve as a onee-for-one rep
placement forr the locomottive horns. T
This treatmennt was
necessary
y at this crossiing in order to
t achieve thee Quiet Zone along the enntire corridor. The Atrium Drive
crossing will
w not receiv
ve ‘No Train Horn’ signag
ge because of the Wayside Horns.
If you should have an
ny questions about the esttablishment oof the Douglaas County UP

Pines Quiiet Zone, pleaase contact mee.
