The rail crossing on n.e. 95th St in Anthony, Florida is in very bad shape. You have to coast across it so you don't ruin your car. Almost all the wood has broken down. It needs to be fixed properly.

The conductor must get his jollies on blowing that air horn,,, because he blows it at least 65 times in the span of a mile at 2 am,,, one of the crossings is gated and lighted,,, so wtf?

On highway 278 in Fairfax, S.C., the train crosses the road and runs about 15-20 mph on the curved portion of tracks there. The train is about 3 miles long and takes about 13 minutes to complete the passage across Hwy 278. Anyone can bypass the train holdup if it is know how much is gone by, but once it has past by and you did not see the front portion, you are out of luck. The long wait is on and most folks work out of the local area and is on a time schedule, but the 3 mile long train alters all those plans. This happens after around 4:00 am in the mornings or 4:20 pm in the afternoon. People are trying to either get to work or trying to make it home after a long day of work, but instead have to contend with this excessively long 3 mile train. I know nothings going to change, because it's all about the dollar bills.

The uneven rail crossing on Broad Rock RD caused my car to be knocked out of alignment. The Pads are uneven and the touching road pavement has eroded. When it was done several years ago it was smooth crossing. A complete horror at present. Please investigate. Thank you.

Is it really neccessary to lay on the horn for over 10 minutes at 12am and other early hours. I realize it is a safety issue but the horn noise is to long for am and night hours. I think the conductor likes to wake everyone up everynight.

Train noise is getting excessive. We were unaware of how loud the train was going to be when we bought our property...the noise is horrible, the deep rumbling can make you feel sick...
One saving grace (we thought) was that we are not THAT close to a crossing so we didn't hear many horns at first...for some reason the horns are going crazy now at the closest crossing to us...one just went blew at 6:41 am...how much traffic/safety issues could there be at 6:41 am in a suburban area?...NONE...What's going on???? Does anyone at CSX read these or care? thanks

Please find this communication to be one of solution seeking. I'm up trying to figure out how to stop this excessive nightly noise abuse from the CSX trains that run behind my house daily. I live off of Eastern Ave. in Essex, Maryland. When we first moved here I did not think much of the trains because during the day there are commuter trains which are quick and quiet. But during the night that's when all of the noise and horror begins!!! Constant Long, Heavy CSX Trains coming by with Loud Horns Blowing at 2,3,4,5, and 6 in the morning!!! I wake up for work at 6am after not getting sleep all night from the noise. The issue is serious and is robbing us of our peace and quality of rest in our new home. My child is being awakened in the night startled from the noise and excessive horn blowing. New home communities such as this should be deemed quiet communities to the trains passing by. It is very disrespectful and inconsiderate to the hundreds of people being affected by this easily rectifiable issue. There is hardly any traffic, pedestrians etc. on the roads in my community during the overnight hours, so there is no need to blow the horns at that time. It is usually very peaceful and quiet all day even with the trains passing by. So we find it hard to understand why the night time conductors passing by our community will blow the horn waking everyone up several times per night. I would think that horns would be needed more during the day time because there is plenty of traffic etc. during those times. But that is not an issue. So why the excessive horn use at night? Please show respect for the resting hours in the Waterview and surrounding communities.

CSX IS ONE OF THE ORGANIZATIONS USING SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY TO STALK, HARASS AND PHYSICALLY INJURE ALONG WITH BLOWING THE HORN FOR CODED COMMUNICATION. A BIPARTISAN INVESTIGATION CONCLUDED NON LAW ENFORCEMENT USE OF SURVEILLANCE AND CSX IS ONE OF THE ORGANIZATION USING TECHNOLOGY IN AN ABUSIVE MANNER TO THE POINT COMMITTING FRAUD WASTE AND ABUSE. THE INABILITY TO OBTAIN AN ATTORNEY TO FILE A LAWSUIT FURTHER CAUSES ABUSE AND VICTIMIZATION. THE ABUSE IS SO WIDE SPREAD THAT IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FILE A COMPLAINT BUT I REFUSE TO CONTINUE TO BE VICTIMIZED BY THE ILLEGAL ACTIVITY OF CSX CONDUCTORS.

Over the past month the train horns on the middle of the night are so extremely loud that it's waking everyone on our street. We moved into this house ayear ago and we've never heard the train whistle like recently. We live about a mile away, so I can only imagine what the sound is closer to the crossing. Is there a new conductor? This decibel seems louder than the 125 decibels that's permitted. Please, please if we can correct this issue so we all don't go crazy.

Your trains idle for hours, sometimes days, below my house. This is by the water treatment plant at the end of Douglasdale Road in Richmond. The noise is very obnoxious. I am selling my house. My husband died in July. No one will buy my house if your trains are banging away when it is being shown. Our neighborhood is not a freight yard. This is quite an emergency for me. I have complained before. I NEVER get a reply from you. Please help me. My next only choice is to call my city councilman or the local news helpline. Thank you. Sara Gibson76157

The conductors should be ashamed of themselves for laying on the train horn longer than required through tiny sleepy towns.

Some of us have to get up and work you know! Stop. There is no need, no one is up but you and you wake us all up!

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


Someone ,SOS

I live a half mile west from the road crossing on west bel air ave, not another road crossing for miles after. The amount and length of horn noise is perplexing. Neighbor has said to me that the original owner of my home worked for the railroad and they blow the horn as a tribute to him.I don't know if that is the case, if so....he has been deceased for a very long time....and I am two owners later. As many others have stated, the noise is constant....and even all through the night

How do you justify(other than your profits) running an excess of 200 cars and 4 locomotives through our busy suburban town... tying up traffic for hours(they run consecutively every 15 minutes)... and often slowing to a crawl only to STOP and back up?... and hauling that bakken crude as well... you did hear what happened in Quebec some years back didn’t you?
I hope if something does happen you are ready to dodge the bullet, because that’s what you will do when the shit hits the fan.... lie, cheat and deny.

Train #3354 idling for 1 hour 20 mins in front of 10322 s sacramento ave. Sunday Apr 29 they blocked the intersection for 1/2 hour.
Crossing number 283153J. This is an ongoing problem and shows that you are not good neighbors.

Csx trains through the night blowing the whistles at every road crossing. And we have 5 in close proximity and it is getting more prolific as time goes on and now windows are open it is keeping me up through the night. I am not the only one noticing the duration of the whistles. If I have to I will be making a complaint to Pennsylvania governor office to see what can be done now that it is becoming a public nuisance and disturbing the peace of residence.

The trains that travel down Ooltewah/Ringgold on the long straight away are blowing their horns for long period of times during the night hours from 10pm to 6am. There are gates for the two crossing that work but your engineers seem to find it enjoyable to just lay on the horn for over 3 to 5 minutes, it is disturbing the peace and waking my kids up. This has just started and it is only during those hours, not sure if you have disgruntle employee or what but it needs to stop or we are going to take this to the next step. You do not have the right to blow those horns that late at night for long periods of time.

Second time in 2 days that csx has blocked a major crossing for over a hour!! The train cars just sit on the track blocking the damn road and not move. When you can their bullshit 1888 number they say my conductor said he's moving, it's a shift change, my conductor is pulling in the yard. Lying ass company!! Everyone of you are full of shit!! Children are late for school daily! People are late for work daily because you can't get your shit together and quit blocking intersections longer than 15-20 minutes.

Railroad ave.
NON STOP horn blowing for up to 5 minutes not little "toots" laying on the horn for an excess of 1 minute ALL day and night. Before during and after crossing. Very young children get startled awake and even startled during the day and cry. This HAS GOT TO STOP NOW. Newborn on the way. No one sleeps jobs are taking hits because of exhaustion. Do you even care?

The road (Dusty Hollow Road) on the south side of the tracks drops off so steeply that cars, trucks, and various trailers drag and scrape
My RV trailer recently tore off the spare tire and damaged the rear bumper (21 inches off the ground) after crossing the tracks. I am afraid when I have to go the other way I will tear off the trailer power jackstand or worse yet get hung up on the tracks. This site an uncontrolled crossing and one never knows when the trains will approach the crossing at approximately 50 mph around a curve.
Please contact me to inform me with whom I may speak about this issue. Thank you.

YOUR CSX TRAINS REPEATEDLY LAY ON THEIR HORNS WAY BEFORE AND WELL AFTER A CROSSING. VERY LOUD AND VERY EXCESSIVE. THE CROSSING IM REFERRING TO IS AT DOMBEY RD AND PLAZA AVENUE. IF THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED IM OFF TO THE CITY COUNSEL NEXT.

Residents in Johnson City enjoy or not the train honking daily and nightly. I assume nobody with authority is complaining because the train honks the horns for up to a minute plus sometimes. Feels like the early 1900's here with powerless residents no HOA and many segregated residents who 's complaints are useless. The federal government needs to regulate noise for the residents that are unfortunate and the older seniors that are unaware of the steps or process about filling a complain.

Sine the AVON yards closed months ago we have found more CSX engines stopping and idling behind my home more often! When I say idle it’s for hours sometimes days! I find this annoying & disrespectful because we were never informed our backyard would be the new Engine House after Avon Yards Closed.....Not A Happy Camper!

Since the AVON Yards have shut down there have been more days where we have a CSX Engine sitting behind our home idling sometimes for DAYS! I didn’t know nor did anyone warn us that my back yard was going to be the next CSX Engine House! UNACCEPTABLE!

My husband & I bought our home & property BEFORE the railroad built a switching station across the road from us...at that time it was quiet most of the time & peaceful. Since the switching station was built, our quiet, peaceful neighborhood has become a nightmare...we are awakened at all times during the middle of the night by unconscionable employees of the railroad just sitting on whistles & horns for longer than necessary periods of time. But the very worst scenario is the one we live with constantly...the idling engines parked directly between our home & our neighbor’s. The vibration & constant loud running has made all of us frustrated & desperate for some quiet time again....my neighbor has to LEAVE HER HOME TO GET SOME SLEEP!!! What is so frustrating is that the RR assured us when the station was being built that the idling trains would park only down south of the station in the middle of woodsland where it would not disturb the neighborhood....they now refuse to do that.....our county commissioners, tv station, and county attorney are attempting to resolve this, so far with no positive, lasting results......any help we can get would be appreciated since the solution is so simple but CSX employees refuse to comply.
