unfolding as the Lincoln Christian University
Class of 2017 Commencement Services were being

this evening:
Custom
Underground Inc., Utility Construction crews were brought
into downtown Lincoln on Tuesday afternoon. Construction
related to development of areas surrounding the high speed
rail led to electrical and fiber optic cables being cut. A
representative of Custom said that their crew planned to
work through the night to find and repair damage to a fiber
optic cable. Already there had been graduated progress. He
expected everything to back to normal by morning.
Communications workmen from Frontier were also on hand.
The electrical damages impacted crossing gates along the
railroad crossings into downtown Lincoln earlier in the day.
Union Pacific crews were out to supervise and manually
operate crossing gates as needed. While power had been
restored by evening, railroad crews remained in the area.
