Highway official seeks changes at Elyria hazardous rail crossing
Ohio highway deputy director Donald H. Timmer urged the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to lower or ease the approach to the rail crossing at Rt. 20 west Elyria after a resurfacing left a dangerous ramp. He warned speeds above 25 mph are risky, and noted no official permission was obtained for the repair. Timmer tested the crossing and warned riders could be killed at high speeds. He contrasted this with the east Elyria NY Central crossing recently resurfaced under city and contractor collaboration.
