The city of Acworth announced the permanent closure of the School Street railroad crossing downtown due to frequent collisions between vehicles and trains since 2018. The city has been unsuccessful in identifying alternate crossing locations to supplement the closure. The incidents have cost the police and public works departments money and resources, and the recent collision rendered the south cross arm inoperable. The city attributed the frequent issues to the railroad's track raising, leading to trucks and trailers getting stuck. The closure aims to prevent a potential public health event from train derailments carrying hazardous materials through the community.
