Facing South.	The Southbound signal.	An overview.

 

This crossing is on CN's Cedar Rapids Branch.

 

The signal equipment consists of old WRRS masts and Safetran 12"x20" incandescent lights. There are no bells at this crossing.

 

Originally, there were 8" lights at this crossing, but they were replaced with the current lights. I'm not sure when they were replaced, but I'm guessing the mid-1990's.
