Just so everyone knows u need to go after Iowa interstate about this issue...national railway has nothing to do with the trains all they do is repair and resell old trains...Iowa interstate has their yard down there with national railway. I would love an over pass or something to help with the trains but to go after a company that has nothing to do with the trains is just wrong

Dealing with two train tracks just to get home is a ridiculous! Something needs to be done!

I wait on these trains every day, if I don't leave my house at least an hour early go get my kids off to school and me to work I risk being late, and sometimes that's not even enough. There has been numerous days I've waited on 2 or more trains throughout the day. This is ridiculous

If I would have known how to do this a very long time ago I would have! Being that I lived on 13th avenue and 17th street in between both rail tracks, causing me to be late to work multiple times!! It is absolutely ridiculous and very much irritating to sit and watch it go and fourth for half hour at a time multiple times a day!! The fact that you have to either go to darn near rock island to find one end of all the way out to route 5 just to get around it is aggravating in itself! There either need to shorten the lengths of the trains or build a dang overpass somewhere before rock island!
Sincerely,

I have sat at railroad crossings 45 min. Being an ex fire fighter it is a life and death calls that the trains r holding back. To get someone medical attention with-in the golden hr is very important to saving a life. The lengths of these trains r a risk for that golden hr.
I understand having trains r important but there has got to be something that can be donr. People run out of gas waiting for these trains to go by. It is ridiculous to load these trains down and not think of the drivers that have to wait for your trains. U all need to think about those who drive those routes daily.

Please build a dang bridge or something. We shouldn't have to wait so long, let alone watch as emergency responders wait for a stopped train to go back and forth 50 times before moving.
