WEST SPRINGFIELD — MassDOT and West Springfield have wrangled $1 million in federal money to build overhead warning lights at a now all-but-invisible freight rail crossing on Memorial Avenue ...

Mayor Will Reichelt told 22News that the initial design to upgrade Memorial Avenue Rail Crossing was put on hold because of issues with CSX. So, the town partnered with members of the rail union ...

CSX crews shut down the only road in and out of the Oak Ridge neighborhood for 10 hours for rail repairs. Residents were trapped all day.

Micron is purchasing two pieces of land between Caughdenoy Road and the CSX line, just north of Freight Yard Brewing. Construction of the rail spur is planned for the end of 2025.
