Editor’s note:
The United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit has held in a recent case that the Federal Railway Safety Act preempts local ordinances regarding railroad obstructions and railroad safety. See CSX Transportation, Inc. v. City of Plymouth, 86 F.3d 626 (6th Cir. 1996). Therefore, the provisions in this chapter have been repealed. For current enforcement, please consult appropriate State law.
(a) No railroad company nor any engineer or conductor employed by such railroad company shall operate or cause to be operated any locomotives at a speed greater than thirty-five miles per hour across any public grade crossing within Municipality.
(Ord. 1718. Passed 2-21-72,)
(b) Whoever violates this section is guilty of minor misdemeanor and shall be subject to the penalty provided in Section 698.02.
