FORT COLLINS, Colo.—Fort Collins officials are trying to figure out how to silence trains that are blaring their horns as they inch through town.

The city has few options, including closing entire crossings.

According to the Fort Collins Coloradoan ( ), trains have gotten louder under a new federal rule requiring train engineers to sound their horns for 15 to 20 seconds before entering a crossing across a road. The old rules gave engineers more discretion, especially at night.
