Ever have a crossing or two that you remember from your early childhood? This set of crossings is one of them. The crossbucks on the opposite sides are special. Keep reading... Too bad the side lights have 24" backgrounds on them instead of the 20" backgrounds. |

There's another crossing next to this one. |
This crossing is just a few feet away from this one. This one must have changed just after my last visit in 1991, because I remember this crossing having gates. This crossing is off of Paramont Blvd. (811203U). |

It's hard to tell from the lack of light, but those crossbucks on pictures 10 and 11 are rusted old crossbucks with reflectorized dots! These are extremely old. Picture 13 shows the tracks flooded after a lot of rain hit the area starting on Feb. 24, 2003 and going almost nonstop through March 1, 2003. The rain is telling me that this line is abandoned. |

Lucky I got out here when I did, because in mid-2003, both crossings were torn out, and the tracks were removed, and the 10 signals at all 3 crossings were retired.
Google Street View shows that the Western crossing was turned into an Entryway for the new Ganahl Lumber business, while the Eastern crossing has been turned defunct. Click here to see.
