A DOCKER Street resident is concerned buckling on railway tracks close to his home is endangering his family and house.Laurence Brill has contacted the Australian Rail and Track Corporation (ARTC) to voice his concerns about the tracks, which are just over eight metres from his front door.He says the tracks have bowed in parts, causing containers and freight on trains to bounce around as they pass his house.However, ARTC has said the tracks are “totally safe”. Spokesman Brad Emery said it was his understanding the tracks had not buckled, despite being informed by The Daily Advertiser of a photograph showing bows in the tracks.“There is not buckling on it,” he said.“It is simply not the case.”Mr Emery said the only problem with the tracks near Mr Brill’s house was mud spots, which would be repaired on Monday morning.“The bottom line is the track is safe,” Mr Emery said.Despite ARTC’s claims the tracks have not buckled, Mr Brill is insistent they have and that they are a danger to residents.“We have lived here for over 18 years and we have never seen or heard trains like it,” he said.“We have no issues with the trains – they were here first and they are part of our world.“To look at the trains as they bounce around at this speed (80 kmh) is quite frightening, especially as our front door is only eight-and-a-half metres from the track.”Mr Brill said he would feel safer if the speed on the track was reduced until repairs are made.
