At least in a emergency folks could keep moving north or south of the stopped train?

They know they have it block and dont like blocking but if they dont do what they are told then they will get in trouble from CSX.

When developing a new neighborhood, why not require the state, county, city and developers to work together to provide the required access for home owners and emergency vehicles! I seem to remember from school the PPPPPP principle! "Prior Planning Prevents P*** Poor Performance". I think the trains were there first!

You can only siphon so much water through a straw, the rest either has to stop or flow over. District 5 has LONG (extra exaggerated emphasis) been ignored and the money sent south of 9 mile road. Now, the only thing driving all this is the Credit Union, it's that simple. They need places for the potential employees and roads for them to get to work quickly. They fire you if you aren't. Let's put the blame where it belongs. Those trains have been running for decades, but now the traffic is a hundred times worse thanks to poor planning, new subdivisions, etc. Now, the county has recently removed prior protection from too many subdivisions being built by changing the codes that police that in District 5. We elect them, so we must live with what they do. We need someone who has good old fashioned common sense, and isn't afraid to lay the blame at the feet of the Gods directing our own properties, the County Commissioners. Until we find that person, you best adjust your lifestyle to waiting in bottlenecks. Next, it'll be Hwy. 196 where the Beltway will clog the area up there with subdivisions, red lights, drainage problems and will RUIN our beloved Perdido River where most of us have enjoyed the clean, beautiful serene scenery most of our lives.

At one time you could drive along the railroad to get to another crossing but the railroad has completely blocked us from the other crossing with supplies to repair the tracks. The crossing has been blocked for hours at a time. Hopefully CSX new plans don't make our problem worse. CSX has never had a concern for the small neighborhood that they have blocked for 30 years. Good Luck with getting this worked out Fairground Rd crossing in Molino has had this problem for over 30 years and there isn’t any way to get around.

They need to be given some access road to the back side of Cottage Hill to at least get around the train.
