Note: The FRA says this crossing gets 10 daily trains, but I've been told that's way too much.

This is a WEIRD crossing. Two 8" Griswold cantilevers with Griswold/RACO 8" lights, all with L.E.D. lights inside!

Also, check out the yellow tracks signs, normally reserved for use under warning signs.
