Patrolling by rail

— Sgt. Clay Stewart, with the Gentry Police Department, climbs aboard a Kansas City Southern Railroad locomotive Thursday in Gentry.

Officers focused efforts on area residents trying to beat the train as part of "Operation Lifesaver: Officer on a Train." The officers issued two citations for failure to yield at a railroad crossing during the crackdown and one of those cited was also cited for failure to provide proof of insurance. Further enforcement action is being planned.
