McNickle Drive's MI bell replaced

Post by Ethan the Railfanner » Sun Jan 06, 2019 8:57 am

I was scouting along Google Maps and looking at RR crossings, when I looked at McNickle Drive in street view, I had found out that its MI bell was replaced with an NEG E-Bell! No pictures at this time, but here's proof that it's been replaced: https://www.google.com/maps/@35.9718565 ... 312!8i6656

(The lights and the gate mechs remain unchanged too.)

Google caught the crossing in action in 2009.

Nice! That must be a high-trafficked crossing.

Yes it is. ~20 Trains go through this crossing a day.
