Frederick railroad barrier blocked vehicles for hours

Mar. 2—Vehicles could not pass over the railroad tracks at Monocacy Boulevard and E. South Street in Frederick for a few hours Wednesday afternoon while CSX Transportation worked on repairs.

A technical error caused the barrier at the railroad tracks to block the road, according to a Facebook statement the Frederick Police Department posted at noon Wednesday. FPD asked vehicles to avoid the area until repairs were complete.
