Sen. Phil Lowry
Appeals to PUC
To Hold Hearing
State Sen. Philip B. Lowry has
appealed to th Public Utilities
commissioner to hold a hearing
on the speed and safety practices
of Southern Pacific trains in
Medford.
His action, made in the form
of a letter May 16, was taken the
same day the Medford city coun
cil passed a resolution requesting
the same thing. Previously, the
Public Utilities commissioner's
office has stated that a request
from an official source would be
sufficient to cause a hearing to
be called.
Senator Lowry's letter referr
ed to the fatal accident several
days ago at the Stewart ave.
railroad crossing. He said, "I am
sure I speak for all of the peo
ple in Jackson county .when I
say that some action should be
taken to avoid a repetition of
this tragic situation.
He added:
"It appears that the Southern
Pacific company is authorized to
operate their trains at the Stew
art crossing at a speed of 35
miles per hour, Which, in my
opinion, is far too high in view
of the hazards presented at this
particular intersection. This has
become one of the" most congest
ed in Jackson county, and Stew
art -ave. crosses the railroad
tracks at a point between two
railroad sidings, where exten
sive switching operations are in
progress. Traffic proceeding east
on Stewart ave, must cross this
raised grade crossing just a few
feet before entering Highway 99,
where traffic is regulated by
control signals. ,
"In my opinion, all of these
facts would cause any reasonable
person to conclude that this is an
extra hazardous and extremely
perilous crossing. Because of the
geographical location of the in
tersection, the only way to re
duce the traffic hazard, without
going to an overpass, is to make
sure that any train approaching
the crossing shall travel at a
J very low rate of speed."
