Reminder: The Coastal Railway through Oceanside is a Quiet Zone | In 2021, Oceanside established a railway Quiet Zone along the coastal corridor tracks. A Quiet Zone is a section of a rail line that contains public crossings where train horns are not routinely sounded. This Quiet Zone effects rail crossings at Surfrider Avenue, Mission Avenue, Wisconsin Street, Oceanside Boulevard, and Cassidy Street. Active devices like gates, signals, and railings warn vehicle and pedestrian traffic of incoming trains in lieu of the horn. Train horns are still used in emergency situations.
