This crossing is like Beaver Street. It like Beaver Street was once a two-way road, but has been converted to a one-way road. The signals were rebuilt to accommodate the change.

 

Note: The crossing became a quiet zone on March 1, 2010.

Here is a shot from May 14, 1999 when I caught my first train at this crossing. This crossing has 3 tracks but one dead ends before reaching Beaver Street. According to the picture 2, some people do not like to wait.

I thought I would try a different view for October 30, 1999 facing the wrong way on the street. The scenario was interesting.

The signals flash for a mid-length train on May 20, 2000.

Here is the train coming down the track.

Making sure the lights work properly.

Another train is coming! The train on the photos above is going much slower than the first train. (about 15 MPH) The two trains take a combined total of 6 min 14 sec.

This train snuck up on me. This train takes about 2 3/4 to 3 minutes to cross.

Pictures 14-17 were taken by camcorder on December 28, 2001.

Note the white light coming from the side of the light. This is a test showing that the bulb is lit.The one on the left does work, although the picture really didn't capture it. For those of you who don't know, the light bulb inside is not red, its white.

The train disappears on its journey eastward.

Sorry for the bluriness of picture 22, but the wind was high that day (40 MPH) and the wind pushed me around a little bit.

On June 1, 2009, Andrew Plummer comes out to find that all lights have been changed from incandescents to General Signals LEDs. Actually, these have been here since 2006, but I never had a chance to document them. Nothing else has changed.
