This is quite an unusual crossing. These lone 8" signals protect a 1/2 mile spur line run by Union Pacific that goes to a warehouse to deliver lumber. The train pictured here was stopped right next to the crossing.
This crossing is just East of the 8th St. East crossing. This crossing is almost similar to that crossing, except there's a 12"x20" signal on the other side with a VERY LOW crossbuck. |

A couple extra views.
This crossing only sees activity on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. The older lights on picture 6 belong to US&S/WABCO, as well as a US&S teardrop mechanical bell. |

The relay case, which had it's DOT number painted over for some odd reason. |
Views of the 12"x20" signal. The bell on this signal is a WCH mechanical.

That crossbuck really needs to go up in height a bit in picture 19. Picture 22 shows some STOP signs that tell trains to stop. |

Just like on 8th St. East, the remaining teardrop bell on the 8" signal is now a Safetran mechanical bell.

Take a look at the crossbuck. It's held on by wire, not a real bracket! No wonder why it's installed so low. You can see the Safetran bell in closeup in picture 30. |
