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.

      Think about that. We have to drive all the way to 83rd street in order to get around the train.
