The Peninsula on Lake Granbury

Like many of us, I commute to Ft. Worth or beyond and am plagued by the frequent delays at Cresson due mostly to the Fort Worth & Western train moving back and forth at morning and afternoon rush hour traffic.  It is my understanding that they "try" not to load, unload, remove and add cars during these times.  However, as you know, this has not always held true.

Last week we traveled in two vehicles.  My delay was 24 minutes and my wife, who left home 5 minutes after, me spent 46 minutes in downtown Cresson waiting.

Steve Berry, our county commissioner, has suggested the following contact numbers to allow those in charge know about our frustation.  You can put your cell phone to good use while waiting for the train.
