CLEVELAND — The City of Cleveland and its law department are getting tough on both CSX and Norfolk Southern railroad companies for what it called poor conditions at bridges and railroad-owned properties citywide.
“This bridge here it’s terrible; when it rains, it rains down on my car," Layton said. “Concrete can fall down on your windshield, and what, you’re going to have an accident, people behind you are going to wreck; they can't leave it like that." “We’re not actually citing them to repair the bridges, that’s a federal requirement, and we have turned them into the federal government to say you need to come out and inspect these bridges," Roberts said."But even if they want to say that it’s not very serious to have one bridge with graffiti and weeds and crumbling concrete, that’s serious to us; that’s someone’s neighborhood, someone walks through there, someone drives through there.
