Thursday afternoon update on closed railroad crossings

Crews perform maintenance on the CSX Railroad crossing on U.S. 231 (North Jackson Street) in Greencastle. One of several closures in the area, it prompted an official detour following State Road 240, State Road 75 and U.S. 36, though local traffic was able to find other routes via College Ave. or Madison Street.
