The traffic delays at the railroad crossing on Route 926 in Pocopson are a perennial source of frustration for commuters and neighbors alike.
At Thanksgiving dinner a Kennett resident told me she thinks the situation has gotten much worse in recent months.
On her way home from work the other evening, she was delayed for 45 minutes while the trains were being shuttled back and forth across the road, and traffic regularly backs up across the Brandywine Creek all the way to the Birmingham Township building.
She said she called the East Penn railroad company to find out when the train activity occurs, but to no avail: there doesn't seem to be a fixed schedule.
"People say to me, `Why don't you go another way?" she said. "But you don't know it's going to be backed up until you get there!"
"You need to write an article about this!" she said, gesturing with a serving fork to emphasize her annoyance.
