E. Seney, Executive Director of the Ohio Rail Development Commission
(ORDC) requested today that the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio
(PUCO) direct the Norfolk Southern Corporation to install lights and
gates at the grade crossing at Pigeon Run Road in between Brewster
and Navarre in Stark County, Ohio.

improved
as part of a safety program conducted by the ORDC in cooperation with Norfolk Southern Corporation. These and other railroad/highway grade crossings around the state can be viewed at: http://www.dot.state.oh.us/ohiorail/Xing inventory.htm click on the grade crossing icon.
