Well I’ve been sitting here since a little after 5 o’clock this morning waiting on a train to pass about ten till six it stops and has been for a while no signs of it moving anytime soon it’s as if they made sure that they blocked every road in to cottage hill before stoping the train I understand why this hasn’t been dealt with already , oh wait I know why !! Because none of the counties people live in this area they don’t have to worry about it At all so it’s no big deal to them that we are late for our jobs and possibly will lose them it’s ok to them because it’s not their money lost that could have paid a bill or bought a meal for their children , this is b.s and it’s getting really old to have to call in to work because of a train kids missing their education because of this , emergency officials can’t get to a person in need because of it when is this problem gonna be fixed

Stop a train for a Whataburger????
Wish I could stop ANYTHING for a Whataburger in Nebraska!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a crossing here by my rural Nebraska home. Except for a derailment, it has never been blocked.

Marsha, u have no idea what you are talking about, yes your correct about, if u can’t build air pressure you CAN’T MOVE a train! Please get facts before calling people lazy.

I don’t live on the wrong side of the tracks.the problem is the train workers don’t do their job.if they are there more than 15 minutes they are to break the train apart but they are to lazy to do it

I don’t know if the trains are inspected periodically for cracks or breaks on the structures, but if not, perhaps this is an option. Does the DOT require this? If you call 877-835-5279 option 3, you will get to speak with a person, not a recording, and they can tell you if you will be reimbursed for a days work missed.

The problem here is that you choose to live on the wrong side of the tracks. I lived on Woodbury for 15 yrs. and the same problem existed back than. I have been moved from there for 17 yrs. Lets see that 32 years later an still no change. GOOD LUCK!!!!.

CXS will do nothing until it starts costing them MONEY. Why is the laws that are already in place not enforced? It’s true that trains do break down sometime. But CXS blocks roads on a daily basis. The politicians and cops needs to get off their rear ends and do their job.

CSX doesn’t care guys. As long as there not blocking CSX upper management homes they don’t care. And these small time politicians around here don’t care as long as it doesn’t effect them. I heard the safety guy for pcola Weaver on the news say it could have been a derailment and that we should be more prepared. I guess we should prepare for that and I guess we should prepare for earthquakes, atomic bombs, a zombie apocalypse, and any other unforeseen problems that could occur.

>>>Cut a road from Wishbone to
Becks lake Road, only about one fourth of a mile, thus allowing an out for residents in both areas

Great idea, except Beck’s Lake was also blocked.

Cut a road from Wishbone to
Becks lake Road, only about one fourth of a mile, thus allowing an out for residents in both areas. And yes, the state needs to move the tracks across Highway 29 further south and put an overpass. They will not consider this until people die and then still do nothing. Leaders. Yeah right! People have good workable solutions. Politians delay until next election and promise once again to fix it. Yeah right.
