| ND Regulators Set Hearing on Railroad Whistles |
| 10/14/2009 |
| North Dakota regulators have set a hearing to explore whether trains should be required to blow their horns at seven private, rural railroad crossings. Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad officials have asked the PSC to consider a warning requirement at specific crossings at Williston, Mandan, Hebron and five other rural communities. A new state law says the railroad or a landowner may ask the Public Service Commission to consider requiring a warning horn at selected private crossings. Commissioner Brian Kalk says the railroad`s request will be reviewed. Kalk says he wonders about the safety at the crossings. The PSC will hold a public hearing in Bismarck on Dec. 1. |
