This crossing reminds me in a way of the First St. crossing in Hillsboro, OR without the double crossing situation.
The 12"x20" Safetran/Griswold signal seen in picture 1 is actually made by RACO, as seen in picture 2! This is the first time I've seen a different railroad logo other than Safetran or Griswold!
The 8" triangle gated signal in picture 3 is also a RACO. |

The rail cut off just before the crossing will be removed soon. It's still quite shiny which means it saw use up until very recently. |
And the new signal that replaces the old 12"x20" signal. Those lights were transplanted here though it got a new Safetran gate and mechanical bell. |
Google Street View shows that the 8" signal has been untouched, and the 3 tracks sign that is shown in picture 3 still exists, even though the tracks are down to 2 now.
Pictures 7-11 were taken on July 6, 2007.

Knowing UP, they wouldn't allow the old signals and mechanical bells to stay... |
Facing south down the tracks. |
Both signals are now 12"x24" Harmon frames with Harmon fading LEDs. |
Facing North. |

Both signals also have WCH electronic bells. In picture 13, you can see a pedestrian crossing with 3 signals. Hopefully this will come soon.
In picture 15, you can see a few kids along the tracks. While Andrew was here, they were eyeballing an abandoned recliner, and were moving it, then they saw Andrew and stopped. Andrew left, went around the block, only to see that the recliner was moved onto the right track seen in picture 15 and that the kids had disappeared.
The police were notified, and the recliner was moved quickly, but knowing the way things go Today, I'm sure nothing has been done about the situation.
Pictures 12-15 were taken November 23, 2008.
