Placeholder Image
Hall County commissioners will consider closing a railroad crossing on Tumbling Circle and abandoning the right of way at their Thursday evening meeting. Jason Field, a railway and highway engineer with Moffatt & Nichol, a consulting firm working with the Georgia Department of Transportation, said at Monday’s work session the crossing is dangerous and is the site of several accidents. Field said the Norfolk Southern crossing at Old Oakwood Road was the site of eight accidents since 1997, with the last one in 2009.
