ASCENSION PARISH - Drivers around Gonzales should expect heavier than normal delays as crews attend to a stalled train.

According to the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office, all railroad tracks in the Gonzales city limits are blocked because of a train with a faulty switch. The track runs parallel to Airline Highway.

There's no word yet on when the railroad crossings will reopen. 

Traffic advisory:

Kansas City Railroad has a train blocking all the railroad crossings inside the city limits of Gonzales at this time due to a faulty switch. Kansas City advised they cannot give a time frame for the repairs. We will update when available.
