I wish the City would do something to help our businesses on A Street. It is hard to keep businesses in this area. This is a wonderful Vet Hospital that I have recently used and hope they stay around awhile but with this mess at their front door I doubt they will and I can't blame them. WE just need to thank the City for the negative responses to these issues.

I Have repeatedly flagged this area for homeless and the code enforcement keeps doing Absolutely NOTHING! they say its being handled and now there are more than 15 people in this railroad area making business look bad and are tampering and littering all over the railroad area

Thank you for contacting the City of Antioch. Union Pacific Railroad has been notified and will respond to this location and abate the nuisance. Please contact Union Pacific Railroad at 888-877-7267 for more information.

i have contacted the union pacific for over a month now and nothing is being done. USELESS why do you have a job with code enforcement when you cannot resolve the problem

FYI Concerned Citizen:
The Union Pacific Railroad right of way is railroad property. The railroad property is not within the jurisdiction of the City of Antioch and Code Enforcement has no authority over it. This is why they contacted the railroad and why I suggested that they establish a line of communication (point of contact) with the railroad in order to get these issues resolved in a more expedient manner.

What's going on then how in the heck do we get in touch with the railroad to talk with the proper people that can get control of this this is very unsanitary noisy arguing even cars coming and pulling up God only knows what that's about so please somebody post how to get in touch with the railroad ASAP thank you

i have repeatedly contacted union pacific about 20 times they say they have tasked someone to it. but its been over a month now and nothing is being done by union pacific and City of Antioch.

They provided us a # to call the railroad. I see at least 5 of us commenting. Lets all call the railroad tomorrow.

We are sick and tired of this encampment, ee had found several needles around the area,

Sadly this encampment and its attendant pile of garbage is growing daily. This is only part of the ongoing blight that greets residents and visitors driving down to the river.

I called the number above and complained to Union Pacific about this situation. The operator told me that an enforcement was to have started on October 13. I have not see this occur. I am hoping other residents will call and express concerns also. 888-877-7267.

i called on 10/15/18 they only stated that they had someone out on saturday to tell the transients to go somewhere else and that they are awaiting for a clean up crew to become available to clean out the area which they could not give me an eta

Called Union Pacific again today. 888-877-7267

The representative said that he would report it to various managers and departments. Not holding my breath, but hoping something will be done.

The last email contact I had was with:

Francisco Castillo
FCASTILLO@up.com

At that time, I believe he was an AVP with Public Affairs

the homeless have returned. ive made a call to union pacific railroad and they told me it can take up to 3 months to clear up again due to the process that they run.

FYI Concerned Citizen and Glen Jones--please post all numbers and email addresses of railroad company people you contacted (strength in numbers idea). I would like to help and send emails to them or call them and help and demand action. Has this issue been brought up to Mayor? Vice Mayor? City Council? As a citizen of Antioch I hear you.

The encampment is either still there, or they left and returned. Nonetheless, they are still against the fence at near the west end of the Animal Clinic's property line.

Yes railroad did come and clean them out but they are back again seems so they don't really have nowhere else to go

Unfortunately, this encampment is causing problems on nearby city and private property in the area, impacting traffic, creating trash, causing blight, destroying small business opportunities, and affecting quality of life for nearby residents.

why doesn't Antioch PD arrest the individuals for trespassing?

@surferdude ive repeatedly contacted Union Pacific railroad at (Emergencies: 1-888-877-7267) line

Reported 10-03-2018:
I think these folks left for one day and then returned. It is now 12-10-2018 and they’re still there, but now they have a car? These people have moved in! How long before they start building a structure to inhabit? The city will do Nothing because it’s not their jurisdiction. The railroad will do Nothing because they don’t give a rat’s @#$%.

Thank you for submitting this request. It has been addressed. Thank you for helping to keep Antioch a great City.

they have yet to respond its JANUARY now 2month's since this was posted

According to a Union Pacific Worker who deals with railroad right of way issues, railroad property varies everywhere but 50' or so off the tracks would be typical for a minimum. Need to determine just how far these encampments are from the tracks and what the railroad right of way is in all sections of tracks that run through Antioch. Then, put this information in the City's GIS system so there is no question as to who is responsible for cleaning up any particular area, stop the finger pointing and passing the buck. TBA

Thank you for submitting this request. It has been addressed. Thank you for helping to keep Antioch a great City.

i have Contacted Union Pacific who stated the only way to go to above management or anyone above this current employee who is not doing his job would be to write a letter to Union Pacific Customer Relations at 1400 Douglas St Mailstop 1560 Omaha, Nebraska 68179

i will be doing so. this employee needs to be held responsible for not taking action on this ongoing issue

Reported in October, 2018... Homeless are aware that the city will do NOTHING about their presence in this location and now they have established encampments in at least 4 additional locations within a short distance of this encampment and on both sides of A Street. If this is indeed a railroad problem, then how about the city starts fining the railroad per camp, per day that they allow this behavior to continue? Stop pointing fingers and do something...

The homeless are right behind my fence along the tracks. I live on Belshaw Street. There are numerous encampments and every night they all light their bonfires. I’m scared that they are going to start a fire. Why doesn’t the city contact the RR Co.? Are they just passing the buck? Last time Denise Cantrell contacted the Mayor for me and action was taken within two days!!! Please help!!

This encampment has moved west, down the tracks closer to D Street now. Guess they know that it will take the city and the railroad another 6 months to make them move again. Trespassing is a crime - why are these people not incarcerated for continuously violating the law?

Not even a week after the clean you they have returned once again
