Trains blocking crossings near Detroit

Post by McK&H.Aust » Fri Jul 22, 2016 10:56 pm

Found this news clip on youtube from April 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmfgE9dgkTI It shows some interesting crossings including old gate mechs, 8 inch lights (as well as Lex-C's) and what sounds like it could be a GS type 1 e-bell.

I think I have identified three of the crossings. I'm not sure why they filmed the third crossing, it's nowhere near the others. Maybe it was close to the TV studio.
