Transit Express, or TRAX, is a light rail system in the Salt Lake Valley of Utah, in the United States, serving Salt Lake City and many of its suburbs throughout Salt Lake County. The official name of Transit Express is rarely, if ever, used. The system is operated by the Utah Transit Authority (UTA). All TRAX trains are electric, receiving power from overhead wires.

Commuter Train in Salt Lake City, Utah 2018
The entire length of FrontRunner corridor (including the southern extension) has been approved as a Quiet Zone by the Federal Railroad Administration. Typically, federal railroad safety regulations require that all train operators sound their horns for 15 to 20 seconds as they approach any road crossing.[37] Essentially a Quiet Zone designation eliminates this requirement. However, for obvious safety reasons, they are not prohibited from sounding their horn, if appropriate. The Quiet Zone applies to all trains (including freight trains) within the same corridor. Each city along the route had to individually apply for the designation, but UTA provided substantial assistance with the process. Several safety upgrades must be in place at all public crossings in order to receive Quiet Zone approval. In addition to the normal automatic warning bells and lights, required upgrades include crossing guards, signs warning that trains do not blare horns in the area, and raised medians (which prevent cars from driving around lowered gates). There are also additional safety features for pedestrians. Prior to the southern extension, FrontRunner had the longest Quiet Zone in the nation—the southern extension doubled the length of the previous Quiet Zone. ~Wikipedia

Chasing the Vampires - night freight train over UTA Trax Red Line
Utah Transit Authority took over the former D&RGW branches to the Bingham Canyon area, turning the main into the Red Line. Because several rail-served industries remained on the Red Line, Utah Railway and Savage Bingham & Garfield operate freight trains at night after the TRAX trains are pulled out of service. Locals call these trains the vampires because of their nocturnal schedule; in this video, we chase a the Utah RUT310 from the Bingham Junction Trax station to Magna with four empty KCCX tank cars and a buffer car.
