The Little Engine That Could
Earlier this week a car pulled in front of an oncoming train. We’ve all heard of such things before but never in New Orleans’ City Park or with the childrens’ City Park train!http://blog.nola.com/interact/2011/10/head-scratcher_of_the_day_city.html Ever stopped to consider the dangers involved with crossing highway-rail grade intersections or trespassing on railroad property?

That’s a lot of weight on a damaged bridge. This bridge is maintained by the Norfolk Southern Railway. If this damage concerns you please call 1-800-453-2530 … Read entire article »
