This is ridiculous 45 minutes. There has to be a way to cut down on the stopping of traffic on powder plant road.

-0- I hate this railroad. I have been late for appointments because of the railroad crossing at Powder Plant Road in Bessemer, Al. It is the way we go to our local hospital and doctors offices and also to my employer. This railroad crossing usually stops traffic from 15-40 minutes. That is way too long of a wait off there is a medical emergency. You better hope you don't get your pants sued off if your train causes a delay for an ambulance. The train goes back and forth. Stopping and restarting. Fix the problem!!!! VERY DISSATISFIED.
