The night before the repairs began, Decatur Mayor Dan Rickord said at a city council meeting that that he recently got together with officials of Bunge North America in Decatur and the Chicago, Fort Wayne & Eastern Railroad and obtained an agreement that something will be done soon at the crossing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mayor explained that the Bunge and CF&S officials said they would do a \u201cband-aid\u201d repair job at the outset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey said, then, that they would do a better job next spring, Rickord noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
