The problem started when the RR was allowed to run 110 cars, that’s about 1 ¼ mile long, before that when the trains stopped they cleared our drive by a couple 100’ and the kicker is starting this fall the RR will start running two mile long trains.
The RR, D.O.T, Police, EMS, Fire, Media, Mulvane city manager, Sedgwick Co Commissioners all said your…..SOL along with several hundred other people in your area.
When you have a problem with the RR, your not only dealing with them, but add Home Land Security, “ghost riders” US Department of Commerce to your list.
If your wondering why they just cant break the train. When they did away with the caboose the switch man now rides in the locomotive, most of the time it’s the last few cars that do the blocking so that means he would have to walk a total of 4 miles to do his business and re-charge the break lines….that’s just not going to happen….and that’s a quote from the RR.
