The crossing gate for opposing traffic at the 66th Avenue grade crossing is stuck up. This crossing has a center median and "quad gates" because it is a quite zone. When working properly, trains do not use their horns at this crossing. However, since the crossing gate is malfunctioning, trains are currently using their horns here.
