Working on the railroad in Amelia

The Daily Review/Geoff Stoute
St. Mary Parish government, through negations with Burlington Santa Fe Railroad Co., undertook a surface repair to the railroad crossing on Lake Palourde By-Pass Road in Amelia Thursday that has long been a disruption to motorists, according to area Parish Councilman Mark Duhon. Duhon said the railroad company supplied the labor, which was completed through CW&N Contractors of Sibley, while the parish pitched in the blacktop.
