Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:20:01 GMT

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Governor Mike Parson and the Missouri Department of Transportation are set to announce a new Missouri Railroad Safety Crossing plan this week. On Thursday, the governor plans to sign House Bill 4, which includes $50 million in state funding to improve over 45 passive railroad crossings. The work comes just over one year after four people were killed and over 150 people were injured when an Amtrak train hit a dump truck at an uncontrolled railroad crossing in Mendon, Missouri. With that in mind, the governor's office said the state is focusing on 47 crossings on the three rail lines that carry passenger trains in Missouri. Parson and MoDOT also plan to share results of an independent review of these rail lines. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now Daily News SIGN UP NOW ...

Feeling the Skold

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:20:01 GMT

Feeling the Skold: Tim Skold, for the uninitiated, was the mastermind behind Swedish rock & rollers Shotgun Messiah. That band released three awesome albums between 1989 and ’93, the third of which was the industrial-tinged, ahead of its time, Violent New Breed. That would prove to be a prophetic record, because soon afterwards Skold embarked on a very industrial solo career, and release a string of great albums.In between, Skold would be a member of KMFDM and Marilyn Manson for lengthy spells (he still occasionally plays “Anarchy,” a song that he wrote for KMFDM, but not tonight). But one always suspected that he’s happiest when he has full control of his music.His latest album under the Skold name, Seven Heads, dropped this year, though he only played the most recent single from it, “Rat King,” at the Whisky A Go Go on Sunday evening. The rest of the set was a blast though, spanning his solo career and a little bit more.There were lows, so l...
