Look, I don't really mind that the crossings are closed sometimes, but there has to be a way to know ahead-of-time so I don't get stuck with a train in the way. There should be a webcam on each crossing, maybe, or a map that shows which crossings are clear in real time. I'm sure the camera feeds and data are available in some internal system already.
I live in Locust Point and have seen people--mostly young men--climb the fence and climb over the trains while "parked." So dangerous and an accident waiting to happen. CSX uses the tracks as a train yard/parking lot.
I've found the crossing to be closed less often recently than in the past. It doesn't really matter though; that's why they built that bridge a block north.
Get the required safety checks, which seem arbitrary and not needed, changed for these simple and regular stops.
