A train has blocked the east side of Main Street and railroad tracks in Putnam County for over 30 minutes. A semi-truck driver requested help to get around the stopped train but could not. It was decided to contact CSX, the train operator. There is concern that small roads are not suitable for semi-trucks and that attempting to bypass the blockage may result in traffic violations.
