Deskripsyon

The past 3 mornings, between 6:40 am and 7, slow moving long trains have blocked both streets for more than 15 minutes. I thought there was a "law" about how long they could block the road way. This is ridiculous, at rush time!!!

I completely agree. Something needs to be done about the schedule of these trains. I've come home and been stopped by the train...stayed home for only 15 min...gone back out and stopped by another train. What makes things more difficult is that two of the major streets in the neighborhood are one way streets which makes it very difficult to find another way around.

The train also blocks the roads in the evenings rush traffic. It is creating a dangerous situation when I have witnessed several cars going around the railway crossing arms. I agree something needs to be done

I too have been stopped by the train for an unreasonable amount of time. It is my understanding that 10 minutes should be the max amount of time. I have tried to find a schedule however I am told that it is unpredictable...
This is from a UPRR engineer;
"Here's the rule right out of the general code of operating rules.
6.32.6: Blocking Public Crossings
When practical, a standing train or switching movement must avoid blocking a public crossing
longer than 10 minutes.
That rule applies when the train actually stops.If we're moving even 1 mph the 10 minutes doesn't start til we stop."

I've also seen it blocking the crossing in the afternoon. I pick my boyfriend up at work right there on the corner of 4th & Chestnut and have seen cars go the wrong way on 4th, trying to avoid the congestion from the train
