Summary

South Lyon is urgently demanding CSX fix two dangerously deteriorating railroad crossings on Pontiac Trail, where crumbling wood and asphalt force drivers to swerve or detour—despite CSX’s claim they’re safe. Built for far less traffic, these crossings now handle way more than they were meant to, with constant vibrations and wear threatening safety. The city’s mayor is pushing for a long-term solution, but funding remains the biggest hurdle—both CSX and the city lack the cash for upgrades. After mounting pressure and media attention, CSX has agreed to a new inspection in the coming weeks. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
