Not the Railroad’s problem. They and their yards were there first. Moving a yard is impossible (think NIMBYs).

It is the problem of the state to build an overpass.

Maybe if they built more track on the IP side to “build” their train. Then they would only need to block 29 once going in and once coming out.

Two words “CHEMICAL SPILL”. Look what is written on the sides of some of those tankers the Locomotive is pulling. in the event of an accidental spill most of the stuff in the tankers is deadly. Read what is on them and look it up yourself. WE NEED A WAY TO HANDLE THE TRAFFIC AND GET THE CHILDREN OUT. I have lived my life but they deserve it, as do the generations to come. There is a way to fix this situation, I know there are people who can design a workable solution. This is not just about the 30 or 45 minute’s we sit and wait. It’s about the future and those growing up behind us who depend on the grown-ups of 2019 to get it ALL done right.

So, make IP pay for this….it’s their product. If they want it, find a way to get it out! This isn’t rocket science.
When the railroad and IP get enough lawsuits filed against them by families that have lost loved ones because emergency personnel could not get thru, then they’ll look at it seriously.

There’s a very easy solution to the daytime blocking of hwy 29. This train shares engines with a job that works Milton/pace area. The other job works nights. Switch job times. ie: other job works days Cantonment job works nights. Major traffic delays immediately averted. As for the other crossings majority of that is mechanical failure that wouldn’t be subject to the fines.

Build an overpass for hwy 29 traffic. They’re building one on 9 mile for Navy Fed so they should just order 2 while they’re at it.

Wow, just wow. This just shows how literally inept the county commissioners are. They have tried this before and it was a huge laughing stock. Not sure if they realize how utterly laughable this truely is. You cannot makke this stuff up! I have absolutely zero faith with these commissioners. What’s next, build a tunnel from Century to the beach? What have we come to?
