Investigations

Lawmakers are looking fund solutions for blocked crossings. Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) wants priority given to railroad crossings near schools and give citizens a way to alert rail companies.

When crossings are blocked for hours, kids risk their lives to get to school by crawling through trains that could start at any moment. Ambulances and fire trucks can't get through. The problem has existed for decades. But it's getting worse.
