11626 [9:43am} At approximately 8:20am it was reported that a large grain bin blew onto the railroad tracks near the main crossing at Baker, MT. This is causing some malfunction in the railroad crossing arms. The owner of the grain bin is coordinating the removal of the bin from the railroad tracks at this time. We ask that the public remain alert as you travel and keep out of the way as the debris is cleaned up.
