Another return trip to this crossing on 9-2-21 catches the crossing in action! The NEG e-bell here is set extremely quiet, and almost sounds like it's dead when you're even a short distance back from the crossing, like I was! |

The FRA claims that this crossing gets a total of 27 trains a day, but this is a branch line, so I don't find that very believable. They also say that the crossing gets 4 daily switching trains, which is a lot more believable.
Update 11-25-19: The FRA now claims that 23 trains a day for this branch line, with two switching trains a day. The two switching trains is a lot more believable, hence the change to the train count above.
