Ok a couple of responses, and after re-reading my post from last night I will try not to make so many typos tonight. 1. The road is the CSX and I have contacted the Roadmaster in Charlotte, (only 10 miles away) and left many voice mails on both his office and cell numbers. I have also called the div. MOW engineer in Florence SC, which controls this area. Also left voice mails with the trainmaster in Charlotte as I had his number from the PD, and finally the state Vice President in Raleigh, who did get some reults, though his job is to lobby the general assembly, not chase down messes in the hinterlands. Maybe the fact that the Speaker of the NC House of Representitives lives here makes him responsive. But then that brings up the political angle again- will CSX be looking for something from the General Assembley this year? How will they be able to call on? 2. We do go after junk cars, and overgrown properties and substandard buildings too. Sadly railroads often possess all three. 3. As for seeking bigger fi***o fry, I would not like to waste time with the RR as someone suggests, but we also respond to what our citizens complain to us about and the RR is a regular topic. 4. CSXNS- I spent 14 years in Bessemer City and found the NS slow-w-w-w to deal with but responsive. CSX as been a dissappointment. 5. ED- my favorite historical road, the Western Maryland was known for clean locos, which I guess makes CSX even more frustrating. I did spend a few years in College Station TX looking at dirty SP power.
