Taken January 10, 2004. I had just gotten here, when I walked to the tracks to survey the area. I heard a faint rumbling, and saw a train coming from the east. I didn't have time to get video, so I took these 3 photos. Notice that there isn't any traffic waiting here...

No changes found here on June 12, 2005. The L.E.D. lights don't look very bright up close in picture 21...

Picture 22 shows me standing next to a US&S model 95 gate mechanism going up, which is VERY noisy.
