Nesquehoning businesses and officials are working together to create a solution for a railroad crossing that was recently the scene of a train-vehicle crash.

Borough council President David Hawk said that some members of council, as well as KME and Ametek, two businesses that have buildings off Mountain Avenue, met on Thursday morning to see what can be done to ensure the safety of everyone who crosses that intersection.Hawk said that they came up with a short-term solution and will work toward long-term solutions for the future.Motorists using Mountain Avenue off Route 54 entering and leaving both Ametek and one of KME's buildings will now see a KME security guard posted at the crossing to alert motorists when a train is approaching.The borough installed additional stop signs from both approach sides and KME painted white visibility stop bars on the roadway at the stop signs to ensure enough distance between vehicles and the train tracks.KME also added additional warning signs including "Stop, look, listen" signs and both businesses held safety briefings with their employees.Hawk said the group will be meeting again next week with state Rep. Doyle Heffley, R-Carbon, and the Carbon County Commissioners to discuss a long-term solution, which may include the possibility of upgrading the signaling at the crossing.Police are still investigating the crash at the intersection that occurred on Tuesday.One man was flown to the hospital for his injuries. The Reading and Northern train engineer was not injured.Police Chief Sean Smith said following the incident that the train, as it neared the intersection, had given warning horns announcing its approach.No additional details about the crash have been released.On Wednesday night, borough officials pointed out that Reading and Northern recently increased the speed on that track from 10 mph to 25 mph.
