It’s been more than two weeks since two trains stalled in Braidwood forced closure of two of the city’s three crossings for two hours, and still no word on why the closure happened from the state.
City leaders have yet to hear why the crossings were blocked on March 13, from 9:45 a.m. until 11:45 a.m.
The incident is just more evidence of what local emergency responders warned about seven years ago, when the proposed High Speed Rail (HSR) construction was set to add a siding just north of Main Street.
