Rogue Valley residents south of Medford have to get used to new sounds: the rumbles and horn blasts of freight trains.
The Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad closed the Siskiyou line south to California several years ago, forcing any Rogue Valley freight traffic to head north to go anywhere in the country.
Now with new owners and a federal grant, CORP has reopened the line between Medford and Black Butte (South Weed).
Railroad officials Carla Groleau and Don Seil visit to talk operations, while Claudia Howells from Operation Lifesaver visits to talk about keeping the public safe at road crossings.
