ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. – Several railroad crossings around Ronald Reagan Boulevard in Seminole County were impassable Thursday because the crossing arms were stuck in the down position.
Seminole County officials say a blown transformer cut power to the railroad crossing arms at the following intersections:

East State Road 434 crossing west of Ronald Reagan Boulevard
The county asked people to seek alternate routes as technicians worked to manually open each railroad crossing. The arms will remain open until power can be restored.
All of those crossings are now open.
SunRail and Amtrak are currently not in operation in the area because of Helene. Drivers should continue to avoid the area though and exercise extreme caution when driving over those crossings.
