Ranier Wants Rail Crossing Monitored

The city of Ranier wants to arm itself with some video evidence it can use against CN Rail.

Mayor Dennis Wagner claims CN is willfully breaking a State statue by consistently blocking a crossing in his city for more than 10 minutes.

Wagner is asking Koochiching County to set up a camera to document the problem.

Wagner says CN Rail sent fourteen trains through two weeks ago, that blocked the crossing for the better part of an hour.
