CSX

CSX could care less

I would like to acknowledge the good efforts of Ald. O'Shea as he battles CSX Railroad at the Surface Transportation Board.

During the past few years CSX trains have been blocking grade crossings throughout the neighborhood. Their actions have caused serious inconveniences for drivers and have threatened the safety of our neighborhood. CSX needs to be looked at closer and held accountable.

I can't count the number of times the crossing at 95th near Rockwell has been blocked for 7-8 minutes when I thought about what I'd do if I needed emergency health care at Christ or Little Company and couldn't get through because of the train. The only solution I could think of would be to race north on Western to 83rd to go under the viaduct and then double back. Some solution. Next, more realistic option would be Dial-A-Prayer and the undertaker.

This blog is about

This blog is non-monetized and uses photos and materials from other sources. It is in compliance with Fair Use Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Code. Music, videos and mugshots are for entertainment and disincentive purposes only. Any similarities or resemblances to people or pets, living, dead or imprisoned is just your imagination. Some stories are true, some are fictional while some of the stories are funny.

The theme of this blog has changed. We are now headed into a period of extreme political and economic troubles. We want to increase everyone's awareness and show them how to weather the storm. We are going to begin including articles and videos on prepping (food, water, shelter, medicine, self-defense,) basic economics and general SHTF lifestyle changes.

I am not going to be critical of 19th ward politicians. They tend to do the best job they can with very limited resources, and don't need to be beaten up. In fact, people should be helping them as they are among the last "normal" leaders in Illinois.

I am keeping the 19th Ward Chicago name because of the rich blog history going back to 2010 and because there is a ready-made base of similar-thinking readers. For now on, the 19th Ward of Chicago will be mainly a point of reference, an observation deck if you will. A place where allot of good-natured, normal-thinking people still live and can safely view the dysfunction overtaking America. Write whatever you want about whatever or whomever you want. Just keep it true and not vulgar.

At all times, we am going to comply with Blogspot's community standards. We have seen what happens when there is not such compliance.

We will never publish threats of physical violence or baseless attacks on people or institutions.
