The Quiet zones do go into effect March 1, 2010, however there's going to be a celebration on March 2, 2010 at 2:00 PM MST for the "last horn".

In the second link, there's even a short video showing both the Wayside horns and train horns working at the same time at the Fanning crossing.

The "Last Train Horn" event has come and gone. Here's an article on it: http://www.azdailysun.com/news/local/ar ... 9cd30.html

Also, it says the daily train count is down to 60!

EDIT: Here's a video of the occasion:

wow, no more train horns. The train activity has slowed down a lot, so 60 sounds about right. I am making a trip up there in early April, so i will report on that when i go up there.

This story isn't over yet...
