City Council to vote on lowering Southern Railway tracks
The semi monthly city council meeting tonight at 8 p.m. is expected to pass an ordinance demanding the Southern Railway lower its tracks through High Point. Mayor Moffitt and Councilmen Worth Grayson and Davis back the move amid a looming lengthy legal battle and a guaranteed relocation cost. Rodney Snow has not stated a position. The planning and zoning commission also supports lowering the tracks citing expert views that the task is feasible. Southern Railway claims lowering is an operating impossibility and warned of moving out if demanded.
