Decision On Penn Central Is Seen Slowing Traffic
The Federal Railroad Administration granted Penn Central a partial reprieve from track safety standards for freight lines in southeastern Ohio. The agency requires upgrading sub standard track on passenger and mainline routes within 30 days and demands a plan to restore other tracks. Speed limits near Hobson Yard will drop to 8 mph, slowing trains between Columbus and Dickerson and affecting Gavin Plant crossings.
