In picture 33, that truck pictured next to the signal is actually a Park Ranger that was giving TrainmanKight a hard time for "trespassing" when he wasn't. He was taking a picture of the WCH bell seen in picture 24, and you can see exactly where he is at. This is the first time in Kirkwood that TrainmanKight has been harassed by any law officials of any sort.
