The City of Riviera Beach says it's working to establish a quiet zone along a 2.5-mile section of the Florida East Coast (FEC) Railway and Brightline corridor.
Tequesta says the issue of noise from FEC and Brightline trains is real, but it's fearful of crashes at a crossing if it imposes a 'quiet zone.'
Train horns at railroad crossings serve as a warning for nearby cars and residents, but it's a noisy nuisance for some North Palm Beach County residents.
Council members with the village of Tequesta will be meeting and holding a workshop to discuss implementing a quiet zone at the train crossing along Tequesta Drive and Old Dixie Highway.
A woman was struck and killed by a freight train on Friday, says the Tequesta Police Department.
