 Residents in Brainerd expressed concern over the safety after the recent appearance of a sinkhole. The hole was located next to and underneath the railroad tracks east of 11th Street between Norwood and Laurel Streets. Burlington Northern Santa Fe owns that area of track where the sinkhole appeared. BNSF tells us that the track has been decommissioned and the area of the sinkhole was filled and repaired yesterday.
