The constant thump, thump of vehicles crossing the railroad track on Main Street will come to an end this week when the crossing repair, which began on Sunday, is completed. Monday's rain delayed the work, which will start again with the rain stops.

The improvement will be better and last longer, perhaps 20 years, since a rubber surface with asphalt will be used.

The crossings at Johnson and Gilbert streets will not be upgraded at this time.

The Chicago, Ft. Wayne, and Eastern Railroad runs through the heart of town.
