Bill to reduce length of freight trains in AZ over to safety concerns

  • last year
It's not uncommon for drivers along Grand Avenue in Sun City, between Bell Road and 99th Avenue, to travel alongside a 16,800-foot-long train. The length of that train is more than three miles long and is delivering new vehicles to a distribution facility in El Mirage. It can take motorists an hour and twenty minutes to cross the tracks once that train rolls through town.
