Residents Seek Underpass To Baltimore & Ohio Crossing
McHenry Owen and T. J. Brooks traveled to Indianapolis Friday to urge the railway commission to require a crossing under the Baltimore and Ohio Southeastern at Ft Ritner. They argue the current culvert is overwhelmed by water and poorly located, and a westernly under track crossing is favored over a steep grade crossing that was abandoned four years ago. The commission meeting is slated for today in Indianapolis.
