Mayor Jack Robbins announced he would meet with a Norfolk Southern representative on Wednesday, April 15, at 11:00 AM to discuss railroad tracks through Dunkirk.

The announcement appeared in both the city council and Board of Works minutes. No details were provided on the specific topic — whether the discussion involves track maintenance, crossing safety, noise, traffic disruption, or potential infrastructure changes.

Norfolk Southern operates freight rail through numerous small Indiana communities. Track-related issues frequently affect residents' daily commutes and city infrastructure.
