RIPLEY, N.Y. (WKBW) — There is some good news for neighbors who felt trapped by trains in their own homes. There is help coming from Washington.
On Thursday, 7 News' Kristen Mirand spoke with neighbors on Klondike Road in Ripley who told Mirand Norfolk Southern trains frequently stop on the tracks that cross over their road which is a dead end. Neighbors said the train sometimes parks on the tracks for sometimes up to eight hours.
Mirand informed Chautauqua County Executive PJ Wendel of the issue. He then reached out to Western New York Congressman Nick Langworthy. His chief of staff told Mirand on Friday that they are planning a meeting with Norfolk Southern to address this problem.
7 News will continue to follow this story until there are solutions for the neighbors on Klondike Road.
