RAILROAD NOISE ABATEMENT IN CHICAGO

The Chicago Noise Ordinance does not specifically regulate railroad noise. It does, however, specify noise limits at district boundaries for particular land uses. Six cases of railroad noise and vibration problems and their solutions are discussed involving piggyback loading, parked refrigeration cars, train-switching operations and train "pass-by".
