SOUTH WHITLEY — Whitko Community Schools has been contacted by Norfolk Southern railroad concerning the closure of all railroad crossings in South Whitley Thursday morning August 29, 2019.

Norfolk Southern will attempt to get the State Street crossing open prior to school dismissing Thursday afternoon but will not guarantee it, according to a news release from the school district.

In the event that all crossings remain closed, Whitko transportation will instruct buses to use the  CR 900W crossing which will result in students on those buses arriving home later than usual. School officials will be closely monitoring the progress of work on these crossings to help avoid any unnecessary disruptions to afternoon school bus transportation, the news release said.
