Re: 3-20-24 Update
Do they use those signals in Bayard? There are identical ones on the UP serviced elevator branch line in Farnhamville as well. Although nothing will beat the dog doing it's business when the Google Maps car went by one of the Bayard crossings. :ROFL: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.8533239,-94.55797...

Re: Black Crossbuck with button copy
Line is dormant, but here's something you certainly don't see often at a public crossing. Has a matching inverse SORS as well. https://www.google.com/maps/@43.1709341,-73.3329489,3a,54y,109h,100.24t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sT0K6v4fwjzwbp7ilzD3OsQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu Oh nice!

Somehow it doesn't surprise me now that CN may consider another use for these tracks and perhaps decide not to abandon t...
