Driver narrowly escapes as grader hit by train near Elkville
Tim Cobin, Elk Township road commissioner, says a Illinois Central Gulf freight train struck the front of the road grader he was operating while clearing snow near Elkville. The vehicle was torn into a ditch but Cobin walked away unhurt. The crossing has no warning devices and limited visibility. The town relies on borrowed equipment due to a broken grader and funds shortage, worsened by last week’s blizzard. Consolidation Coal Co. lent a new grader to the township.
