Plug Pulled on Elmhurst Railroad Crossing Gate Lights

The police don't know who unplugged the gate lights at an Elmhurst railroad crossing.

Someone unplugged an Elmhurst railroad crossing gate.

The pulled plug was discovered about midnight Friday.

"A Union Pacific employee stated an unknown person(s) unplugged the crossing gate lights at the Haven crossing," police said.

"Unplugging the gates causes the lights on the arm of the crossing gate not to work, however the gate still maneuvers up and down," police said.

The police say they have "no suspects at this time."
