CN Rail is being charged for blocking a rail crossing in Koochiching County.It comes after a train blocked the Van Lynn Road for more than 90 minutes last Thursday afternoon.
County Sheriff Brian Jesperson says the issue of lengthy delays at area crossings has gone on for too many years.
A charge is considered a petty misdemeanor and can lead to a fine of $300.00.
County Board Chair Kevin Adee says it's still action that many residents have wanted to see even if the fine is pocket change for CN.
