Cravens Road

needs overpass

This is about the new by-pass we're gonna have in Poplar Bluff. Hey, that railroad track down there across Craven Road is--if anybody remembers back in the old days South Fifth St. before we got the viaduct how the trains used to mess with the traffic there. Well, that has all moved down to that crossing on Cravens Road. I think the employees of the industrial park ought to have a meeting and protest. They need to put an overpass there at that crossing. Either or get a guarantee from Union Pacific that they won't block the street for more than five minutes. They'll break train rather than leaving it hooked together and block traffic.
