MBTA to Blow Train Whistles at Willow Street Crossing

Authorities will begin blowing train whistles Tuesday at the Willow Street crossing until the town replaces broken delineators.

After paving Willow Street on July 14, the Department of Public Works found that more than half of the delineators in the center of the road at the railroad crossing need to be replaced.

The Federal Railroad Administration informed town officials that the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority (MBTA) will blow the train whistle.

The Town of Reading reported that the replacement delineators are on backorder. The delineators will be installed as soon as they arrive.
