SMYRNA, Ga. - After a train derailed near a Smyrna neighborhood, more residents, part of a group called "Quiet the Train", are raising concerns about maintenance, noise levels and safety.
What they're saying:
"As somebody who is directly impacted by this, I want to make sure that I don't have to buy a new house because a train came through my wall," Mark Crowley said.
Crowley is part of a group of residents who've spoken out about issues around the train going through their neighborhood for years.
The group started focusing on noise issues, but has since expanded to speed, track maintenance, and safety.
"When they go at the speeds they're supposed to go at, and when they maintain their equipment the way they're supposed to per their rules, it's tolerable. It's fine," Crowley said. "But when it comes screeching in at 110 decibles, and it's ear-splitting, and my bed is shaking, they really are running into problems."
"We'd like to see step-up with their maintenance of the rail cars and the tracks," Richard Shannon, who started the group, added.
The other side:
CSX sent the following statement to FOX 5 Atlanta in response:
"At CSX, safety is our highest priority. We are committed to being good neighbors and strive to limit the impact of our operations on communities we serve. CSX complies with all railroad noise emissions standards set by the Federal Railroad Administration. Throughout our network, we have taken steps to minimize noise and vibrational impacts from our train operations through the installation of Continuous Welded Rail (CWR) and follow all regulatory guidelines to reduce our impact on surrounding communities."
Georgia Rep. Gabriel Sanchez, who lives close to the derailment site, echoed his neighbors' concerns.
"Now with this, it just proves there are issues they are not addressing," he said. "We've been talking to these people for years, and they need to listen to the community and stop putting profit over people."

SMYRNA, Ga. — Many seniors are on a fixed income and home repairs are not in the budget.
That’s where the nonprofit Rebuilding Together comes in.
Channel 2’s Lori Wilson was with the organization in Smyrna as they helped two seniors stay in their homes.
The work being done on two homes in the historic Rose Garden Hills neighborhood in Smyrna may look like home upgrades and repairs, but it’s also about independence and freedom.
“It makes it much easier for me to get in and out,” Marion Bernice Livsey said.
TRENDING STORIES:
She and her husband bought their two-bedroom home for just $8,500 back in 1955. Now, 70 years later, she’s able to stay in her home thanks to the work being done by Rebuilding Together, the City of Smyrna and their partner Renewal By Anderson.
“She needed a little bit of a ramp just to get in and out of her home, to help with her mobility,” Toni Lee-Grissom, Signature Service Manager at Renewal by Anderson, told Channel 2 Action News. “We love working with homeowners in the community.”
Smyrna City Councilmember Tim Gould said the city sets aside money for projects like this because it makes the city stronger.
“It’s really an important part of the thread, the fabric of the Smyrna community, helping people stay in the home they grew up in, often,” Gould said.
In the Rose Garden Hills neighborhood, the repairs are more than just for looks.
“The repairs that we do are crucial, they are not cosmetic,” April Cline, Executive Director at Rebuilding Together ATL, said. “We replace roofs, replace plumbing systems, repair electrical systems.”
For Livsey, the work is also keeping her connected to those she loves.
Livsey lost her husband 40 years ago, but says she’s stayed healthy all these years because of what he planted.
“My husband did a lot of work on this house,” she said. “A lot of good vegetables, my husband had a garden.”
The two raised vegetables, and three daughters, at their home in Smyrna over what Livsey said was a lifetime of love.
“I have a lot of memories and things to be thankful for,” she told Channel 2 Action News.

SMYRNA, Ga. — A historic covered bridge on Concord Road in Smyrna has been hit and shut down many times.
Most recently, it was hit on Thursday.
Channel 2’s Lori Wilson was in Smyrna, talking to neighbors who are blaming technology for the constant collisions.
“Out here at least twice a week, helping people turn around,” Bob Burns, a neighbor, said.
Bob and his wife Pat Burns have lived next to the historic covered bridge on Concord Road in Smyrna for decades.
RELATED STORIES:
Every time the bridge is shut down, because a truck was too tall or too wide has run into it, they know about it.
“I feel bad for the person,” Pat Burns told Channel 2 Action News. “I’m not as tolerant with the drivers as Bob is.”
Ross Cavitt, the communications director for the Cobb County government, said there are plenty of warnings in place to keep drivers from hitting the covered bridge.
“We have signs that flash and we have hanging bars that hit your vehicle,” Cavitt said. “They still hit the beams that protect the bridge.”
Cavitt said the county has put a lot of energy into protecting the historic covered bridge, drivers and people like the Burns who live in and travel the area.
“99.9% of the incidents that happen down there are people who are from out of town, have a delivery truck,” Cavitt said.
“I know immediately that someone’s following their GPS,” Pat Burns said. “I know immediately that they just don’t pay attention to the signs.”
Cavitt said the real problem is technology, because people are listening to their apps instead of trusting street signs warning them about the bridge.
“Our big challenge has been to work with the GPS companies to put some sort of advisory on their app, we’ve been moderately successful with Waze,” Cavitt said.
The covered bridge is just seven feet tall. Cavitt said the county is working to get a low clearance designation on mapping aps, but it takes time.
If you do hit the bridge, repairs for it are billed to your automotive insurance.
“They get fined for the repairs, they get fined for every sign that they miss, it is not cheap to hit the bridge,” Pat Burns said.
“I used to feel angry but I don’t feel angry,” Bob Burns said. “I just feel said and sort of frustrated.”

SMYRNA, Ga. — A terrified family rushed out of a home in the middle of the night when a large tree crashed onto it.
Channel 2’s Tom Regan was at the home on Crowe Drive as cleanup was underway Wednesday. They had to bring in a crane to lift the tree off the house.

It was a rude awakening for the family inside. Powerful winds and driving rain sent the giant tree crashing onto the house in the early morning hours.
Leland Mahone said he was asleep.
“I heard a lot of water, thundering, and my mom was banging on the door, ‘Wake up, wake up, we’ve got to go!’ Because she said heard the tree,” he said.
The teen said he heard a loud creaking in the walls of the bathroom nearby. They feared the large tree was about to slice the roof and crush their house.
It was time to get out.
Considering the size of the tree and way it fell, it’s surprising it didn’t cause more damage to the family’s home.
“There’s definitely some roof shingles, the gutters, the whole gutter fell of the facia,” said Sean Bundy, Tomahawk Tree Service. “It didn’t go through the roof, luckily. They said there’s not holes in the roof, through the home or anything.”
Leland says he’s glad they decided to evacuate, just in case.
“Yeah, I was pretty scared,” he said. “I didn’t want all my stuff to get wet.”
Because of the enormous size of the toppled tree and its position, crews had to trim back limbs of nearby trees to make room for the crane to lift it from the roof.
Despite the damage in this area and nearby, there were few reports of power outages.

If you lived or worked full-time within 5 miles of the Sterigenics facility in Smyrna, GA, or the Bard (now Becton Dickinson) sterilization plant in Covington, GA, and you have been diagnosed with any type of blood cancer (e.g. lymphoma, leukemia, myeloma, etc.) or breast cancer, you may be entitled to compensation. Fill out the form to learn more.
Over 700 Georgia residents have filed lawsuits alleging that ethylene oxide (EtO) emissions from nearby sterilization plants caused their cancer.
In a landmark May 2025 verdict, a Georgia jury awarded $70 million in damages to a former Covington resident, Gary Walker, who developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma after decades of EtO exposure. This was the first of over 400 lawsuits filed by people living near the Bard plant, with more expected as awareness and legal action increase. Sterigenics resolved 80 cases in 2023 but still faces additional claims with upcoming trials in the next year.
The EPA has identified areas around both of these facilities as having elevated lifetime cancer risks due to EtO emissions. Legal action is underway to try to hold the companies accountable for alleged toxic exposure that may have harmed nearby workers and residents.
You may be eligible to join an ethylene oxide cancer lawsuit if:
Fill out the form on this page for more information.
Ethylene oxide (EtO) is a colorless, flammable gas commonly used to sterilize medical equipment and instruments that are sensitive to heat or moisture. EtO can penetrate delicate products—such as plastics, electronics, and surgical instruments. Its gaseous form allows it to permeate hard-to-reach areas, making it highly effective when used on complex or packaged items.
Despite its usefulness in sterilization, ethylene oxide is a hazardous chemical linked to serious health risks. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other health organizations have classified EtO as a human carcinogen. Long-term exposure to the gas has been linked to several forms of cancer, including lymphoma, breast cancer and leukemia.
Unfortunately, the danger is not limited to those who handle the gas directly. People who live or work near industrial sterilization plants may be exposed to EtO through air emissions without realizing it. Over time, the effects of this kind of repeated, low-level exposure can accumulate in the body and significantly raise the risk of developing cancer.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer after living or working near a facility that uses ethylene oxide, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit. Legal action is underway to hold industrial sterilization companies accountable for exposing communities to dangerous levels of EtO without adequate warning or protection.
These lawsuits aim to secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages related to ethylene oxide exposure. Fill out the form on this page to see if you qualify to join.
