We received a call from the railroad this morning that they will be closing the crossing by the post office again today between 8:30 - 9:00. They said that it most likely WILL NOT be open by the time school is over.
BOTH railroad crossings in town are closed (Bluford rd. and South Ave.) You will need to take Markham City Rd. to get to school.
We received word that the rail crossing on Bluford Rd. by the post office will be closed all day tomorrow, December 8. The crossing at Auburn Ln., west of town will also be closed. Please use the crossing at South Ave. or Markham City Rd.
