- Description:
- Interchange connects RI with Santa Fe Railroad and MoPac. Busy street with automobile traffic closely parallels tracks, increasing danger for side-swipes. Tracks run down the center of the street. Street which runs parallel with the tracks just beyond the crossing, presents a special danger because cars can run so close to the track that there is the danger of side-swiping automobiles or trucks as they goo up and down the street.
