PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — The Red Line on the T recently underwent a big improvement project, but now, it’s making a lot of noise in the South Hills.
The intersection along Willow Avenue and Baldwin Street in Castle Shannon is one of three that had new signals installed on Pittsburgh Regional Transit’s Red Line. Neighbors say the noise from the signal has become a nuisance at all hours of the day and night.
The sound can be heard anytime the Red or Silver lines come through the intersection.
KDKA-TV received an email from neighbors, who say they hear this signal even when the train isn’t coming, sometimes for hours.
“You hear it all night, all day, and then, sometimes, it gets stuck on. It’s terrible,” says neighbor Joseph Pantanella.
Pantanella lives near this intersection, and he told KDKA-TV that the signal noise became an issue right after the rails were repaired and signals were added as part of PRT’s Red Line rehabilitation project.
