Drivers Told Trains Have Right Of Way
Nelsonville engineer John Hillis asked the police and other agencies to publicize railroad right of way at grade crossings. Police Chief Max Valkinburg said motorists frequently violate the rule and crews will record license numbers and file affidavits. He noted motorists must yield when a locomotive is in view or audible signals are given, as stopping trains is costly and time consuming. Violations have occurred at Myers Crossing, Kimberly, lower Watkins Street and Factory Road.
