Advisory

UPDATED: railroad crossing at Kennesaw Avenue is reopening

As you can see in the photo, a tree fell across the railroad tracks  and was struck by the train.  The train was blocking the intersection at Kennesaw Avenue and could not move until the tree limbs were cleared and the train was inspected.

Marietta Fire promptly removed the tree limbs from the tracks and train. and we are told the train will be free to move again within a few minutes!

Special thank you to all who worked so quickly to make this road reopening happen quickly!
