New Railroad Crossing Signals Planned Near Dieterich

The Illinois Commerce Commission has approved a Stipulated Agreement requiring the installation of new automatic warning devices at the North 2200th Street highway-rail grade crossing of the Illinois Central Railroad's track near Dieterich in Bishop Township.

The total estimated cost of the signal design and installation is $343,818. ICC Staff recommended that the Grade Crossing Protection Fund be used to pay 95% of the signal design and construction costs, in an amount not to exceed $336,627. Illinois Central Railroad Company will pay 5% of the cost to design and install the new crossing warning devices, and the entire cost of future maintenance of the signals and circuitry.

All work is to be completed within 12 months of the Order date.
