An Irmo railroad crossing is set to be fixed after pleas from citizens.

The railway crossing is at N. Royal Tower Dr. and N. Woodrow St.

The community told WLTX News the crossing has caused damage to cars and makes an unsettling sound when cars cross over.

Amos Jones has lived in Irmo for 30 years.

“We’ve been complaining about that railroad track for over a year,” Jones told WLTX Street Squad.

“CSX has been giving us excuses and we’re sick of it. It’s time for them to fix it.”

“It messes up my tires,” Jose Delgado said. “Sometimes I get punctured tires so I stop right here at the gas station to get some air.”

Irmo councilman Erik Sickinger is also tired of the issue.

“The problem is CSX … they’re responsible for maintaining that little section of crossing at N Royal Tower.

“We’re erecting a sign on both sides of that crossing saying: If your car is damaged call this number. The town is not in control of fixing it, but we’re going to take some real serious steps to get some action happening.”

The phone number on the sign tells you to go to the CSX website and lodge your complaint. Many in the community said they have done this already.

“There are some horrible stories,” Sickinger said. “Skirts coming off of their cars, tires popping, it’s extremely frustrating and if I didn’t know how hard the town was working to try to get CSX to do something about it, I would just say ‘it’s never going to get fixed.’”

While CSX has done patchwork jobs to the road over the years, the town is asking for more.

“What we really would like them to do is just do a little more work this time. Fix the ties, lower the railway so cars aren’t going over an incline every single time.”
