KINGSTON - A series of events on railroad tracks south of Kingston forced a CSX freight train to stop for about an hour on Saturday, blocking two of the city's six crossings.
CSX spokesman John Casellini said three separate incidents forced the 11:45 a.m. stoppage, which prevented vehicles from crossing the tracks on Flatbush Avenue and nearby Gage Street. The city's other four crossings were unaffected.
Casellini said a rock slide, a truck abandoned on the tracks and a vehicle striking a railroad bridge were to blame. The three incidents happened Friday night and Saturday morning outside of Ulster County, he said.
