Stopped trains causing issues in Hume

 

Those traveling through Hume, Mo are increasing met with not one, but two trains stopped on the double tracks leading to a long detour or extended wait which is drawing fire from residents. According to a Facebook post by Adam Reynolds, contact has been made with CPKC Railroad and some progress is being made. 

Besides inconvenient driving delays there are concerns that emergency vehicles may be hampered, leading to a life threatening crisis. Reynolds says that the problem has been conveyed to railroad operations and hopefully a resolution can be met as there appears to be enough track for trains to stop further out of town. In the meantime, Reynolds is serving as a liaison between the community and the railroad; if anyone sees an active blockage that has been there for an extended time, please contact him in person or email adam@humecc.com so he can report it to railroad officials.
