Mayor Thomas Jones Announces CPKC (KCS) Railway Improvement for Mansfield!!!

As the citizens of Mansfield are aware, railway switching in the heart of our city has been an ongoing issue for several decades now. Extended wait times have really worsened over the years with more concerns about accessing the local hospital for medical emergencies, responding to house fires, accidents and public safety in general.

I had been in communication with KCS management several years ago about the railway switching bottleneck on the main streets of the city. At that time, KCS was looking at an extension track south of the parish towards the Benson Community. Evidently that potential project stalled and other talks began.

So we fast forward to the current plan which has come into fruition, an extension track north of Mansfield. This extension will allow an entire unit train to park outside of the city limits. This should lessen wait times as passing trains can continue without slowing down as much.

This is what the CPKC Senior Manager of Community Affairs said regarding the work in progress. "The siding extension at Mansfield will help improve fluidity of rail operations on the CPKC Shreveport-Beaumont, Texas, route (including Mansfield). It will also enable us to pass some trains entirely outside of the downtown area where there are no crossings."

CPKC works to avoid trains blocking crossings. If residents experience lengthy train stops on any crossing, they should report it by calling 1-800-716-9132 or emailing [email protected].
