1
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: To bell, to whistle, or to both. That was up

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: for discussion because a former train engineer wants whistles to

3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: be blown at all train crossings when the gate comes

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: down to block off traffic, saying bells aren't good enough

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: to keep people safe.

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 2: I think public safety is important.

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: Some commuter rail riders I talk to think safety should

8
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: be prioritized, though some do seem to be concerned about

9
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: noise pollution.

10
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 2: That definitely should take precedence, although I can see it

11
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 2: from the perspective of a homeowner, they might have some

12
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 2: different priorities, but I think in most cases, you just

13
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: want to make sure everyone's going to be okay.

14
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: The court ultimately dismissed the case, saying the fine print

15
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: reads engineers have a choice bells or whistles while they

16
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: approach a crossing at Lansdown Station. I'm a Freedman w
