SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — Things will be quieting down on Salt Lake’s West side.
The Federal Railroad Administration has approved two railroad “quiet zones.”
That means trains will not be allowed to blow their whistles along the 900 South rail line from 700 West to Redwood Road, and on Union Pacific’s main line tracks from 2nd South to 5th North.
The quiet zones were being pushed by Mayor Rocky Anderson… who says it will bring relief to residents in the Glendale and Poplar Grove neighborhoods, as well as the Gateway area.
The City Council must now approve the changes.
