Drivers Urged to Use Caution on Shelbyville Street

April 30, 2015 - Travelers on Shelbyville Street in Center are urged to use caution as they travel across the railroad crossing located at Martin Luther King Drive on Thursday, April 30, 2015.

One arm of the crossing has been knocked off and the other arm is lowering at frequent intervals regardless of a train approaching or not. This is causing traffic delays and is making it difficult for drivers to know if a train is approaching. It's unknown how the gate reacts when a train does approach.

According to the Center Police Department, the railroad company has been notified as of 9am this morning; however, it is unknown from where a crew is traveling and when they will arrive.
