City waiting on Union Pacific in effort to restore Quiet Zones

SAN MARCOS RAILROADS

Railroad “Quiet Zones” throughout San Marcos have been rather noisy since early June while the city of San Marcos works to update infrastructure that allows the silence in the first place.

“We understand the community's concerns about hearing train horns in designated quiet zones. The city of San Marcos is currently awaiting final permitting from Union Pacific to begin necessary construction to address quiet zone deficiencies,” the city of San Marcos stated in a facebook post.
