Frio City Rd. Quiet Zone
Frio City Rd. Quiet Zone
The San Antonio Transportation Department has completed its improvements to the Quiet Zone crossings along Frio City Road to bring the crossings into compliance with federal regulations.
Why are we STILL hearing train horns? The Quiet Zone improvements need to be accepted by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) before the horns can be silenced.
(This Quiet Zone failed a random inspection in 2021. The FRA has since allowed train engineers to sound horns until such time as the crossings' deficiencies are remedied and accepted by FRA and UPRR. The Transportation Department is actively auditing all Quiet Zone crossings within San Antonio to determine their state of repair and proactively seek funding to make any necessary repairs to remain in or re-establish compliance.)

CONSTRUCTION has been completed*
*TRAIN HORNS will CONTINUE TO BE HEARD until FRA and Union Pacific confirm and approve the new Quiet Zone features.
