Facing East.
The Eastbound signal.
An exposed junction box! Not a good thing considering the snow.

 

This crossing is on CN's Cedar Rapids branch.

 

The signal equipment is Safetran. There is one mechanical bell.

 

Originally, this crossing had 8" incandescent lights. Sometime in 2004, the 8" lights were replaced with the current 12"x24" incandescent lights.
