I have a complaint about the Rail Road trying to increase the traffic they have on the tracks going through Rockview Missouri. We ALREADY wait a half an hour to get home each day after work, they are ALREADY taking up both entrances/tracks to Rockview so that MEDICAL PERSONNEL also have to wait. We are ALREADY driving four miles out of our way if our children start getting antsy and refuse to wait quietly while the train(s) pass. I am sick to death of them taking up so much time out of our lives already on the way to work, and home from work, running to the store takes an hour when we have to wait, and now thier asking to INCREASE THE FLOW OF TRAINS?!?! Please take a good long look at how they are already disrupting the lives of homeowners, and AMBULANCES AND POLICE OFFICERS during an emergency, and SAY NO when they ask for an exemption to increase the flow by using another track. One day an AMBULANCE is going to need to enter Rockview, both tracks will be taken up again, and the result will prove fatal. I will be keeping a copy of this email, so that I can have an 'I told you so' because i know what is going to happen when they increase the flow, and i want documentation supporting my warning. What about Sikeston and Dexter, where they are used to very little train traffic, what will happen to them????????? This is affecting so many people, none of it positive. NONE OF IT!! Please, please, dont let them take up any more of our time then they already have.
