k. Southern Pacific Railroad representative attended the meeting:
Roy McWhirter, Ray Campbell, Matt Matrisciani, Art Henson.
A long discussion was held concerning the 45 MPH speed
limit ordinance passed by the city. The representatives
were interested in the reasonings behind the ordinance.
The council explained the concern over the speeds of
various trains and the possibility of a derailment. Mr.
McWhirter explained the train speeds and that certain
trains had to travel at certain speeds in order to remain
safely on track. Trains with dangerous chemicals are
not carried at a high rate of speed and cars are spaced.
Mr. McWhirter requested that the city allow the railroad
to use their descretion in the speed of the trains since
they had a good program for safety and maintenance. Train
speeds are checked by computer and engineers violating
limits between checkpoints are notified. Mr. McWhirter
said they were not aware of the ordinance passed by
Converse (the Ordinance used as a draft for Cibolo) .
No decision was made on the Railroad Co . request they be
allowed to use their own descretion. It was decided to
bring the matter up at the next meeting for a decision.
