A railroad crossing on the main thoroughfare in Lublin, cited by village residents as a dangerous crossing, will have two automatic signals.

The state public service commission, Madison, issued an order Monday to the Soo Line Railroad Co. to install and maintain the signals at the county trunk F crossing within one year. Pending completion of the installation, arterial stop signs will be installed to promote public safety.

A petition for the improved crossing signals was filed in December by county highway commissioner Gordon Hamrick. The PSC conducted a hearing at Medford in January when Hamrick and assemblyman and county board chairman Joe Sweda of Lublin appeared.
