Railroad Issues:

Your Frenchtown Township Board of Trustees recognizes how frustrating the prolonged stoppage of trains at Hurd and Sandy Creek are. While we wait for Federal assistance on getting the trains to stop this practice, the Board has implemented an early warning system to try and help residents save time and gas. Instructions below will help you download an app that will allow you to view cameras pointed at the effected tracks.
