Railroad spraying overgrowth along tracks

Henderson County began receiving calls from some very observant citizens about a month ago regarding the overgrowth of vegetation along railroad lines in the county.

County Engineer Marcus Jones spoke with the roadmaster for Watco, the company that owns those lines, and received the news that spraying for the overgrowth began Tuesday. According to the Watco spokesperson, the unwanted vegetation should begin to die off in one to two weeks. Residents can call Watco’s customer service line at 866-889-2826 if they have questions regarding the spraying.
