Indiana Harbor Belt to Install Automatic Gates at Crossings
Five representatives of the Indiana Harbor Belt line told the LaGrange board on Monday night about plans to install automatic signals at the Cossitt and Lincoln crossings and to petition the Commerce Commission to abolish the Hayes crossing barricaded for two years. The signals will require trains to stop within 50 feet of the crossing before gates descend, clearing the crossings sooner. The current Lincoln and Cossitt tower with hand gates will be abandoned after installation. A hearing date will be set by the commission, with further discussion sought with Hayes, Lincoln, and Cossitt area residents.
