Have Your Say on Train Concerns

Hello, dear neighbors!

This is an off week for us, but we wanted to mention two upcoming community events that might be of interest to you.

Community Meeting on Train Issues

A coalition of neighborhood groups is holding a public meeting to discuss “the issue of noise and pollution from CSX idling trains,” according to a press release.

CSX is the company that owns the railway that runs on the western edge of Fitler Square, along the Schuylkill River.

Residents have long complained about noisy nighttime trains, and of trash-hauling rail cars that foul the surrounding air.

Representatives from the Center City Residents Association will be there, and government officials have also been invited.

The meeting will be held on April 30 at 7:30 PM, at the Ethical Society building at 1906 Rittenhouse Square.

Readers can email ryah438@gmail.com with any questions.
