An overview of this rather classic crossing on 9-20-19. These signals appear to have been old Frisco ones, likely re-used from either AL 17 or US 278 in Guin. There were no bells on either signal here, at the time. |

Didn't get any track views or close-ups of the equipment due to the fact this crossing is well into private property for an industry of some kind, and I didn't feel like trying to have an encounter with security while here.
To the west is Elm Street. To the east is CR 49 in Beaverton.
