MCPD Chief Issues Reminder About Railroad Property

The recent search for a Mt. Carmel man has prompted police chief Mike McWilliams to issue a reminder about walking on railroad tracks and adjacent property. He said the tracks and adjacent area is private property owned by the railroad and people should stay off of the tracks and surrounding area. Last month, searchers found a mushroom hunter who had fallen down a railroad embankment and was trapped under a tree until he was found the following day. McWilliams thanked all of the first responders who searched for the gentleman.
