Make Railroads Comply With The Im Grow Law
The Winchester Chamber of Commerce reached an understanding to stop enforcement actions against motorists at the Martinsburg pike crossing in Clearbrook. Public uproar over arrests and fines of out of state tourists targeted the Pennsylvania Railroad, accused of backing cross track penalties. The dispute hinges on whether the law applies to local versus trunk lines and inter state commerce. Lawyers say the local train definition does not apply if trains operate in interstate commerce, affecting penalties and civic actions tied to broader railroad practices.
