Night of the 24th, I was working downtown and heard a really nice horn battle between outgoing Coaster and incoming BNSF. I was like "I haven't heard that in a long time... must be someone on the tracks?" Then I get home later and got on the computer... Union-Tribune is my home page, and I saw the story about it. Friggin San Diego, man lol

The Amtrak cabcars kick ass downtown!

I assume they rescinded the quiet zone due to lack of adequate pedestrian protection. Especially with the tram right next to it, lots of people just duck behind the gates and cross when they shouldn't.

Return of the honking era in San Diego, well done!

It baffles me that people still choose to cross when then crossing lights are on

It seems like the crews aren't big fans of the quiet zone. They're certainly being enthusiastic.

Going to take a wild guess the first Surfliner was apart of quiet zone being reinstated.

Oh boo hoo about the train horn. Don’t like train noise?? Don’t move near the train tracks.
