Trains don't honk in much of Europe when approaching a gated crossing. The lights and barriers are assumed to be sufficient. Within cities, there may well be CCTV cameras (pointing only at the crossing) so the signal controllers can check the crossing is clear. More video than you could possibly want: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hidjpkqJ0-Y https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hidjpkqJ0-Y (I think the honk in the first one is the train driver recognizing the person filming? It's far too late to be for safety.)
