REPORT: RAILROAD TRACK REPAIR - N.Y. CENTRAL C ARNOLD STREET CROSSING,
Mr. Taylor, City Engineer, submitted a letter to the Board from Clem
Hazinski, Traffic Director, with reference to the newly repaired and
resurfaced railroad crossing on South Arnold Street by the New York
Central Railroad.
Mr. Hazinski reported that the finished product rather than being on a
plane with adjacent tracks of the Grand Trunk crossing just south of
the New York Central crossing is a saw -tooth type hazard. The reconstructed
track is 6 inches higher than the rail of the Grand Trunk track which
is only 7 feet away.
Mr. Hazinski further reported that on calling this to the attention
of the Division Superintendent of Tracks, a Mr. Willlam Drunsie, he
was told that nothing could be done about it except to post it as a
"rough crossing" or to have Grand Trunk raise their tracks to form the
desired plane.
Mr. Hazinski further recommended that, because this crossing is hazardous,
a letter be addressed to Mr. William Minx, Division Engineer of the
New York Central Railroad in Chicago directing the railroad to correct
the hazardous condition.
The Board approved this recommendation and the Clerk of the Board was
directed to write to Mr. Minx and request that this condition be
corrected.
