My guess is it's maybe 100 people, tops? At any rate, it's a extremely small fraction of the entire workforce, and I don't see why this small group gets the right to interrupt other's lives daily like this. Seems very selfish Re: Answers,

This means tons of your local residents without jobs or have to kiss their family’s goodbye and work at another terminal if they can even hold a job elsewhere. As for “a train only should stop at terminals”. The short local trains have to deliver to the plants and companies that requires rail usage in order to run the business Probably while all these business built near the rail road many many years ago As to the problem in cantonment These are distributed power trains. (Engines on front and in middle, double the length or normal trains) to cut crews or course. The trains are not stopping on purpose. They are breaking knuckles pulling the long trains across the hump back hills from mcdavid to Gonzales Train lingo but when they break in half the front has to go back and get the rest of train. Takes a while to get done Csx makes it sound as though they really trying to help but bottom line is they just shut down the pcola freight lines.

Now due to csx’s Corporate greed the days of trains through Pensacola is gone. But 100 years of Pensacola growing with the railroad now starts the decline. But the crossings will be clear. Good luck dealing with class 3 or 4 railroads that aren’t beholding to federal regulations!! Unfortunately, ANSERS is right.

The real reason the train traffic is changed starting Saturday: they sold the line from Pensacola to Jacksonville. That means jobs are gone. That means lives disrupted. That means I have to commute to Mobile to work or Montgomery. That means more time away from my family. Nobody here had anything to do with that so I’m not ranting at y’all. Just know next time you’re waiting on a train that’s someone’s lively hood. The same way that your job is important to you and the people that depend on you mine is important too. I don’t want to be in your way and I’m always doing what I can to move. Please be patient A comment for everyone else.

The train that has been blocking cottage hill stops to deliver rock to Conrad yelvington’s yard on the other side of roads inc. Recently the train has been arriving in cottage hill later in the morning 6-10. This is a result of the original terminal departure moving from 10am to 4pm. Under the previous 10 am scheduled departure it arrived in cottage hill about 2 am. This was much less of a problem for the public. Don’t know why that got changed. Iris slack:
