BLACKBURN, Mo. — Blackburn residents say they’re frustrated with a company that won’t maintain the pond it built next to the railroad tracks in the town.
Property owner Kansas City Southern tells The Kansas City Star (http://bit.ly/2aKLneO ) that it no longer needs the reserve of water next to its tracks in Blackburn, and that it isn’t aware of any agreements obligating the company to maintain the pond for use by the local community.
