Stories of stopped trains blocking streets are prevalent across the nation, including right here in Kansas. One of those places is Caldwell, where the stoppages are causing more than just normal frustrations. The people in Caldwell are thrilled with the hospital that was built just on the other side of the railroad tracks and a sign that is supposed to point people in its direction. But sometimes the sign means nothing because the tracks are blocked by a train. “We’ve been dealing with train stoppage as long as I can remember,” Caldwell resident Chuck Tyler said. “It was something we lived with. It’s also a little bit harder now that the hospital is on the other side of the tracks.” For years, Tyler said, the train stoppages were just something Caldwell residents just had to live with. Now, that no longer feels like an option.
