Parents Concern Over RR Tracks at Delaware Elementary School

Don Rush

There is growing concern among parents about a railroad track near the Phillis Wheatley Elementary school in Bridgeville.

They note that the tracks are in constant use and pose a safety risk to the children who walk to school.

WBOC reports one parent said that in one instance the train moved back and forth on the tracks stranding the children for at least 45 minutes.

Some parents hoped that the train schedules could be adjusted to accommodate the students.

WBOC reports that there was no word from Woodbridge School District or the school on plans to up security in the area.
