Eliminate Grade Crossings Urged In Charleston Plan
Cincinnati engineer Ladislas Segoe advised Charleston’s planning commission that eliminating eight grade crossings would cost about 2 million dollars and greatly reduce street delays and danger. The plan would raise NYC lines near Kanawha Two Mile and target key crossings including West Washington Fayette and Capitol Broad streets. The study notes 13 accidents from 1932 to 1936 and cites potential federal and municipal financing with railroad cooperation.
