WEINER, Ark. — Officials in Weiner have cleared a steel culvert under a Union Pacific rail line that has been blamed for flooding the Poinsett County town.
Weiner Mayor Jeremy Kimble said he has made repeated attempts to contact Union Pacific about the issue since he took office four years ago.
After not hearing from the railroad, Kimble said the town took the matter into its own hands. He said the problem is with how the pipe was built, and the town has cleared it four or five times since he took office.
