Now Eliminate
Rail Crossings

Eleven of the fifteen school buses
which crossed the B&O tracks at
one point or another at the begin
ming of the school year have now
been rerouted so as to make the
crossing of the BIO tracks at any
point unnecessary ii was announ-
ced by Willard L. Hawkins. County

change was made possible largely
by the completion of an overhead
bridge at Weber's Crossing. Five
buses that crossed at this danger
Gus point now use the overhead
bridge at present open only to
school Buses, three buses have
been rerouted from the Loeb Lynn
Crossing to Route 219 and the over
head bridge. buses that crossed the
BIO tracks on Second Street have
been rerouted around the block
to make this crossing unnecessary,
and the original Campbell bus
route no longer crosses the tracks
at Loeb Lynn.
The parents of children on all
buses crossing the tracks at Loeb
Lynn were given the choice of
rerout.ng to Route 219, which in
wolves a ten minute extra drive

tinue to cross the tracks at Loeb
Lynn as usual. OF the six buses
involved the majority of parents
of children on three of them voted
to reroute to 2l9, while the majority
of the parents of the other three
voted 10 continue to cross the B&O
tracks.

ing dangerous railroad tracks in
the county arc the three at Loeb
