Railroad vs Terre Haute over grade crossing at Ohio street
The verdict allows the railroad company full use of fourteen tracks at Ohio street while opponents warn that keeping one nearby street with a single track would deter use. Lawyers hint at no immediate plan to extend litigation, awaiting Terre Haute’s offer of 68000 dollars for what critics call a death trap. The dispute follows editorial opposition by local papers and a city investigation seen as a missed chance for a viaduct, park, library site, and funding.
