<p>[quote user="Lyon_Wonder"]In some communities the motive to build a railroad bypass is to get rid of grade crossings and cut down on crossing accidents. Here in central Illinois, Springfield constructed a bypass along it's south side in the early 1990s that is used by both NS and KCS. The perceived need for security just adds another incentive for communities to push this issue.<br /> [/quote]</p><p>Do you happen to know the break down of who paid for what with this bypass? Was it mostly paid for by the city, or did the railroads have to chip in?</p>
