ORISKA, N.D. (NDHP) – North Dakota Highway 32 was closed for a time Friday, August 9th after a train blocked the railroad crossing in Oriska for 90 minutes.

North Dakota Highway Patrol says it happened around 5:15 a.m. on Friday, August 9, when a BNSF suffered a mechanical issue causing it to block Hwy 32 at the railroad crossing.

They say traffic was impacted until around 6:45 a.m. while a BNSF crew worked on repairing the issue. The mechanical issue has since been fixed, and the intersection is no longer blocked.
