Here’s Townsend’s email:
“According to information we continue to get from CSX, there will only be 3-4 additional trains per day as a result of the ILC. I’m not sure if you’re misinterpreting what [CSX spokesman] Gary Sease has said. Or, I’ve also heard there may be additional trains coming through Polk County, as a result of transferring most freight traffic from the A-line to the S-line, but those trains are not associated with the ILC.
I’m sure you want this information to be accurate, just as Winter Haven officials do. Thanks for checking this out. – joy “ -- Polk County News Blog
