'STRUGGLING TO BREATHE' -- A local mother was rushing her sick daughter to Wolfson Children’s Hospital last week when she was she was left stranded by a train in San Marco for 27 minutes.
Over the years, trains slowly passing across San Marco Boulevard, Hendricks Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard — which, collectively, have come to be known as the “San Marco Train” — have made thousands of people late to work, meetings and appointments over the years.
O’Steen said she rushed her 19-month-old daughter to the hospital from Jacksonville Beach on Thursday morning only to be left trapped in standstill traffic on the offramp from Interstate 95 to Mary Street, just around the corner from Wolfson Children’s Hospital.Meanwhile, her toddler was in the backseat, panting, wheezing and struggling to breathe.“The train is going at a snail’s pace,” she said in the video.
“This is absurd that trains are allowed to go through downtown Jacksonville at a snail’s pace when there are hospitals scattered around the road,” O’Steen said. She said a $35 million project is underway to add new tracks at a railyard to prevent backups that leave trains sitting on the tracks in San Marco with the money coming from several different agencies, including about $900,000 from the city.
