That was on the news here a few days ago. At least no one was hurt which is always good.

Well I guess I got lucky then when I called CSX about a car that was hung up between the rails at a crossing that is less than a mile from my house. This line is heavily used and they had the police and CSX crews and a wrecker out there in no time. In fact they stayed on the phone with me until they arrived and then the CSX guys took over the scene with the police. This could have been a nasty deal if they had not responded as quickly as they did. I am as surprised as you about the operators response especially on a mountain railroad!  How many times do they get calls like this that they would treat it so nonchalantly? This could have been much worse and could have cost some people there lives. Thank you CSX for listening! Paulie |
