A gateless crossing with lots of 12"x24" L.E.D. lights. The cantilever seen in picture 1 has a mechanical bell. The cantilever seen in picture 2 has a General Signals Electronic bell!

 

Picture 3 shows a close-up of one of the Harmon L.E.D. lights this crossing has.


I don't know why the IC&E posted a completely wrong number for this crossing. The old 375998H, and 376001W number did used to exist, but under the SOO railroad and Canadian Pacific railroads respectively. The 375998H crossing was closed in 1992, and the 376001W crossing was closed in 2003. The 376001W report showed multiple tracks along here, and those were probably torn out around 2003 or so.

 

I assume that there used to be 2 or 3 crossings right next to each other with 3 different DOT numbers, which all exist back to the 1970s, and this crossing is the only one to exist Today. IC&E should fix their DOT numbered post ASAP!
