SAN JOSE – People living near Japantown in San Jose will no longer have to hear blaring train horns in the wee hours, after a"partial quiet zone" was established along several Union Pacific railroad crossings.
"I mean, I grew up here, so I've gotten used to it," Avril Cancino said of the train horns behind her home."That's why I didn't pay attention to it too much anymore. Until we got a dog." Horn blasts are required by federal safety guidelines, so getting this partial quiet zone really did take help from Congress.
