Federal Rule Forces Grade Crossing Eliminations in Kansas
Kansas highway officials report new federal rule prohibiting federal aid on highways with grade crossings where rail lines cross. Two crossings in Anderson County meet light-traffic criteria, but eight to ten Kansas projects must remove crossings before aid. The rule, effective since 1921, shifts most elimination costs to government and railroads, with counties paying a small share.
