In his first post to our firm's new Portsmouth, VA Car & Truck Accident Injury Lawyers blog, my colleague Rick Shapiro welcomes the opening of new tracks for Commonwealth Railway Mainline freight trains. The rail line now runs down the medians of VA 164 and I-664 instead of proceeding through 14 grade crossingsacross surface and neighborhood roads in Chesapeake, Portsmouth and Suffolk. The new rail route protects pedestrians and drivers, but Rick remains concerned about Commonwealth's decision to run double-stacked rail cars. EJL
