Attention: Mr. Dunham, Director
Dear Sir Re: Subway, Mill Street, Village of Newcastle
Mi. 286.08, Kingston Subdivision
I have over the past several months received reports of accidents in which
trucks have struck the subway structure referred to above, causing our tracks
above to shift out of alignment. I also understand that this may be caused by
the absence of clearance signs.
Since road signs would be the responsibility of the Road Authority, would you
please arrange to erect proper warning clearance signs at an early date.
Yours truly
I
