Allen County was awarded up to $400,000 to evaluate alternatives to improve an at-grade crossing of Norfolk Southern and Scott Road.   The initiative, dubbed C.R.O.S.S. (Comprehensive Rail Overpass Safety Strategy) Scott Road Project, will explore the feasibility of a grade separation, which means the construction of an over- or under-pass.   The grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Railroad Administration was one of only 6 given to projects in Indiana, out of 123 awarded nationally.

10 RAILROAD TYCOONS: THE GOOD, BAD, & QUESTIONABLE PIONEERS OF THE RAILROAD INDUSTRY Between 1860 and 1900, the rate of railroad construction was increasing faster than ever. But what led to the rapid development of our railways? That answer depends on who you ask. Certainly, innovation was a driving factor, but looking back, many would argue that the driving force for railroad tycoons was money and power. While their impact on American history at the time was novel, many early railroad tycoons earned a reputation for being greedy monopolists who exploited the working class. #investor #railroad #tycoons #history #railindustry #wealth https://lnkd.in/duYWMiA5
