The fact remains that noise pollution was not a phenomenon that was as prevalent at the time of early railways. These days, we can now calculate noise levels, measure decibels and so on. The World Health Organization is very critical of noise peaks and their potential harmful effects, which is one of the reasons why this debate continues. The industry is evolving as these phenomena continue to evolve. I can easily believe that horses were once frightened, but at this time, if we are told that the noise caused by rail activities is harmful to people's health, well then, our society is facing a problem. Europe is more advanced than Canada in this area.
Have you studied what is going on in Europe? Have you had the opportunity to learn more about that?
