Students working to improve railroad crossing

Marshall Christian Academy students want to improve a dangerous railroad crossing about a half mile from the school. A man was killed at the crossing last October when he was struck by a train, and investigators have said Joseph Carmley apparently didn't see or hear the train approach. Students and teachers cross the tracks on their way to and from school, and worshippers at Brashers Chapel Church cross there as well. So far students have written a letter to the editor. That appeared in the Reporter January 3rd. They also have plans to contact the railroad or legislators.
