(KNZA)--Three Brown County railroad crossings could be getting warning devices in the future.

Brown County Commission Chairman Warren Ploeger says being considered for warning lights and crossing arms are crossings located on 260th Road, northwest of Hiawatha; on Foxtail Road, about 2 ½ miles southeast of Morrill and on Antelope Road, northeast of Sabetha.

Ploeger along with Commissioner Steve Roberts met Wednesday with Union Pacific Railroad and Kansas Department of Transportation representatives at the sites.

Besides the three crossings being considered, Ploeger is also pushing  for the installation of warning devices at a crossing on 340th Road located on the Kansas-Nebraska state line due to what he says is poor visibility at the crossing.  

Federal funding through KDOT would pay for the cost of the warning devices, while Union Pacific would be responsible for their installation and maintenance.
