Mississippi railroad crossings seeing improvement
Written by jrood
February 14, 2001 Employees with a sub-contractor for Norfolk Southern are making railroad track crossing improvements in Sandersville, Miss., the Laurel Leader Call reports. Workers with Tubbys Construction Company of Lancing, Tenn., worked at the two railroad crossings in Sandersville March 18 in an effort to make travel over those crossings smoother.
Lee Walker, foreman for the
crew working at the site, said Tubbys Construction is a sub-contractor for
Norfolk Southern.
Walker said the crew is "replacing the crossties under the
track here."
According to Walker, the
work on this portion of the track – from Sandersville to Heidelberg – has been
estimated to take about two weeks.
"We are doing all the crossings
here in Sandersville and we will go up the track to crossings in Heidelberg,"
Walker explained. "We have been working here this week, and expect to complete
this job by the end of next week."
