I travel an hour to get to work, and I normally arrive 10 minutes early, the road I travel is State Rd. 13 and other than rual country roads St Rd 13 is my only option to travel. But when I come into a very small town called Sidney, IN. I can only hope that there won't be a train stopped on the tracks. If a train is stopped they have traffic tied up for a very long time, sometimes even pushing 1 full hour and the only option of travel I have at that point is to either go left or right and hope that the choice I make is the right one and the train isn't setting at the next crossing. If it is I have to turn around and go back the other way. And alot of times you can see the last car, all the train needs to do is pull forward 2 cars and open up the main line of travel St. Rd. 13 but they will not do that. I complain because by being forced to take the country route with the rest of the traffic that travels on the heavily traveled highway. This take me way of course and I end up being late to work when I normally arrive 10 to 15 minutes early. (me and several other employees here). These stopped trains have caused employees here their jobs due to our companies strict tardy policies. It is almost like the conductors are doing it on purpose when you see one or two cars blocking the crossing. Can't they pull forward just those one or two cars and open up this main line of travel for the working man trying to make a living in a stessed out economy.
