Email Sent RE: CSX -
On November 9th, town offices began receiving phone calls regarding the closure of three railroad crossings (Esopus Avenue, Rosenthal, and Union Center). These closures have resulted in significant rerouting of traffic and unexpected delays for our residents.

While the Town recognizes that maintenance on these crossings was long overdue, there was no prior notice of the work provided to town officials, residents, or emergency responders. Moving forward, the Town requests advance notice of any future work, similar to the notifications provided by NYSDOT through advance emails and roadside signage, so we can coordinate accordingly and notify our residents and emergency services.

Additionally, please advise on the estimated completion of the current work so we can update Esopus residents via our social media pages and the town website.

Best regards,

Supervisor Roscoe T. Pecora Town of Esopus

We understand the inconvenience and concern this is causing for residents who rely on these roads for daily travel.

The Town is reaching out to our contacts at CSX to obtain information regarding the work being performed and, most importantly, how long these crossings are expected to remain blocked. We will share additional information as soon as it becomes available. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to obtain answers from CSX.
