New ties: BNSF Track Foreman, Mike Holland, pounds a board fastener into the ground with a pneumatic tool on Friday evening at the Second Stree. railroad crossing. The railroad track was a little wider than it should have been so Holland and his crew had to work after shift hours to correct the problem. The Second Street crossing was closed for about an hour while the track was repaired. Holland said vehicles driving over the track along with moisture in the ground tend to create problems at railroad crossings. [Photo by Matt Hinshaw/Independent]
