    these trains be stopping on Williamson rd as well . my child had been late to school twice already. the train should be inspected daily before leaving the yard..these trains are really disrupting work as well as schools,ambulance services.. it's sad how the trains just stops in the community as if people in the community doesn't have anything to do..this has got to stop during these hour. I understand we all have jobs to do, but when one is being hindered because of the other. then we must work together so it can work out for everyone
