This is how the crossing looked in 2005. The DOT number listed on the relay cabinet is actually for the Gaines St. #2 crossing. |

At one time, this portion of Main St. was an actual street. When it was converted to a pedestrian crossing, the signals were kept intact.
No changes have been made to the crossing. The relay cabinet still displays the incorrect DOT number. |

Both bells are Safetran mechanical bells. |

How's this for a view? These pictures were taken from the Davenport Skybridge shown in picture 5. The Mississippi River is seen on the left side of picture 16. |
