CANTONMENT TRAIN BLOCKING PROBLEM

Escambia County District 5 Commissioner Steven Barry says CSX Railroad has proposed a plan to keep their stopped trains from blocking the Cottage Hill area east of Highway 95A. Trains under 10,000 feet will be pulled far enough south so the McKenzie Road crossing will remain open. CSX will break trains over 10,000 feet long at Eden Lane as soon as possible. Barry said CSX and the county are still working on a solution for Greenberry Drive, Country Lane and surrounding areas.
