Train whistles a thing of the past?
VERMILION -- The whistles of trains through Vermilion have become a deafening wail due to increase train traffic, but soon Vermilion residents will get some respite.U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Toledo, joined Vermilion Mayor Jean Anderson yesterday to announce the grant.
The city will use the money to help pay for ''quad gates'' at four crossings, so that the trains will no longer have to blast their warning whistles. Vermilion has five street-railroad intersections, with those at Perry, Adams, Grand and Main streets very close together.
''I am pleased to honor this commitment to a more livable community,'' Kaptur said. ''I applaud the city and its concerned citizens for working together toward a solution that will result in a safer, more peaceful community.''
