This crossing is located on the CPKC Chicago Sub.

This is actually two crossings in one, with the main crossing having had a RACO EM and a WCH signal, and a side track crossing with a single crossbuck.

The northern signal. This had a RACO EM mast and gate mechanism, 12"x24" Safetran incandescents, 4" RECO gate lights, and a RACO Mechanical Bell, a true gem in 2012.

Side track view facing west. Side track view facing east. A CP Rail gondola with IC&E reporting marks was seen.  The truck in front of it would push this car back, however it did not activate the signals.

In the mid 2010s, both signals were replaced with newer Safetran signals and a newer relay bungalow was installed here, but it came from somewhere else.
