Neola Crossing Plans Considered by State Engineers
State highway officials survey the fatal Neola railroad crossing following Rep. Hubbard’s briefing. Three plans are under study to reduce danger: rerouting the county road to cross the tracks at a new point, creating a T junction with the primary road, or running the primary road between the two tracks with an overhead crossing for the county road. A report will be issued soon with county cooperation sought.
