SCOTT CITY --Scott City's relationship with Union Pacific Railroad was a testy affair two weeks ago, but Mayor Tim Porch said Monday that relationship may be improving significantly.
Two weeks ago Porch railed against the railroad on a variety of issues at the last meeting of the Scott City Council.
