I've noticed that the train didn't blow the horn, Did a No Train Horn ordinance come into effect?

As far as I'm aware, no quiet zone has been established at this crossing (especially since it lacks any upgrades to make it one). I think the engineer just forgot to blow the horn, as I heard other trains blow their horns at this crossing later.

Another video from 7-28-17, showing both sides of the crossing:


I was experimenting with having two cameras running at the same time, as I got a tripod mount for my cellphone recently and was testing it out. I may start doing this to record multiple crossings if there are two crossings right next to each other that I really want to record, but the line isn't very busy.

Got this video today. It sounds like the signal on the far side has the mast get whacked by the gate when the gate goes all the way down:
