Railroads battle over grade crossing safeguards in New Jersey report
The New Jersey State Board of Public Utility Commissioners submitted its annual report to Governor Taylor detailing over 800 recommended safeguards from more than 2,500 railroad grade crossing investigations. It notes railroads challenge the Fielder grade crossing law on constitutional grounds, and outlines plans to give the board new powers to order crosssing eliminations, with a special Bridge and Grade Crossings division. The report calls for clearer procedures in crossing eliminations, proposed railroad securities controls, and cites a gas rate decision upheld by the courts. It also mentions the Public Service Railway Company case in Jersey City requiring taller steps on cars and revised trolley service.
