This crossing is weird. The diagonal tracks go through 2 roads at once. I don't know why they didn't combine this as one crossing, but who knows what NS was thinking? Once again, there's another signal, this time with a NO LEFT TURN indication.

More weirdness. The signal in picture 13 points in both directions. Note the 2 crossbucks mounted side by side. Picture 14 shows the crossing ID's. Why they're on a pole and not on the signals is beyond me. Picture 15 shows a view underneath the signal. I don't know why there are 2 stop signs facing the same way?

Action shots! You can clearly see the NO LEFT TURN light very clearly. Picture 18 is one of the signals on Vinyard St.

Picture 20 shows the end of the crossing. The train was traveling at around 15 MPH, so it took a long time to cross.

All lights are 8", with no bells, and NO GATES AND NO CANTILEVERS like the FRA says...
