The magnet school, elementary, middle and high school are all off Highway 51, which also happens to be a main drag. However, a train intersects that stretch from 7 to 8 a.m. every day, which ultimately causes delays.

A group of parents plan to sit on the train tracks Tuesday morning between 7 and 8 a.m. to protest the train route.

how either long or slow (or both) is this friggin train to take an entire hour at that intersection?
Also, I have no sympathy for these parents if they alreayd KNOW in advance the train schedule and KNOW that from 7-8 every day this stretch is going to be unpassable. Leave earlier or take another route you fricks.

And they will be arrested, people don't frick around with trains or interrupting commerce.

I guess in an emergency situation - fire, health, etc the school is screwed. Too bad there's not a bank blocked off by a train for an hour - it would probably be robbed every day it was open and some days it was closed.

Dickinson’s proposed solution to the train: simply run at another time—just not during school rush hour.

As for the parents, they simply want the train to avoid using the tracks between 7 and 8 in the morning.
Stop making those fat people's lives inconvenient!

The train tracks were there long before the school was built, sounds like piss poor location planning to me. Parents just need to get up and leave earlier or the school needs to start later.

The parents are idiots and in the wrong here
But that is certainly an inconvenient time for a train. That's life though. Adapt

My wife has this exact problem every morning or on most mornings. She has been late once and the school understood but you can bet your arse she adapted and took a route 5 minutes longer out of the way the very next day.

Sounds like they need an overpass.
Maybe some of that infrastructure money could do it...

The train is probably setting off cars at an industry. Takes some time to tie some handbrakes, perform a brake test, make a cut and uncouple, set off the cars, couple back up to the main unit and allow the air pressure to build up before leaving

The parents planning to protest are idiots but that seriously sucks that everyone is stuck on either side of the tracks for a freaking hour

Unless there's a place in this town with an overpass, then there's no "adapting"

I just thought I would point out the obvious to some of the slower people in this thread, the train doesn't block the road for a fricking hour. It passes through at some point between 7-8 each day.

This means that because students are tardy, a train was formed.
It should be Parents blame tardiness on train
