Fire Snarl Spurs City Rail Crossing Talk in San Antonio
Police and Southern Pacific officials met after a Saturday blaze at 141 Simpson Street to discuss efforts to prevent blocking by a long freight train at the Mission district crossing. Fire crews waited helplessly north of the crossing as trains moved, with SP representatives proposing a post January 1 meeting to plan cost-cutting measures and improved crossing procedures. One train was flagged, but later another moved onto the section, delaying fire units arriving at the scene.
