Note 1: This road does get flooded, but not as much as the other crossings.

Note 2: The spur track goes to the Water Treatment Plant. I used to see a tank car by the plant, (likely had chemicals for water treatment) however I haven't seen tank cars on the spur for quite some time.

 

Pictures 1-16 were taken in April 2009.
