Not exactly a train versus anything, but just wanted to share what happened this morning:

Looks like they have upgraded the lights since Street View was out there. Only one set of lights on the cantilever back then: http://goo.gl/maps/91zkH

I'm sure the bell made it through that just fine, so hopefully they just re-mounted the same cantilever?
