This is where the Davenport, Rock Island and Northwestern track used to be. This track was part of the crossing (DOT # 865668F). The relay cabinets are still in use.

No changes were made to the crossing. The crossbuck seen in picture 1 is still present. The crossbuck reminds me of those used for passive crossings by the Milwaukee Road. There are no bells at this crossing.

Notice how this crossbuck has been re-lettered?
All of the lights are Safetran 12"x20" incandescent lights. All of the Safetran frames are identical...
Except for this one.
