The meeting will take place at the Mayfield Community Center, located at 311 Glover Street. This event will provide residents of Fredericksburg with an opportunity to ask questions about the recently installed device.
CSX representatives will be present to share information, answer questions, and educate community members about the device and its safety measures. The discussion will focus on the new location of the split-point derail device.
The device was previously situated at Cobblestone Square, where a derailment resulted in a barrier wall collapse and damage to four buildings. It has since been relocated further South.
