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 Therefore, the provisions in this chapter have been repealed.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 person shall allow or permit the running of a diesel locomotive engine within 500 feet of a U1, U2 or U3 Use District for a period in excess of five minutes while such locomotive is in a standing position.
(Ord. 159-1959. Passed 9-8-59.)
