This crossing is located on the UP Springfield Sub, part of the Illinois High Speed Rail Corridor.

These signals were installed in 2016 or 2017 replacing a pair of 2000s WCH gated signals. Also, full disclosure, I don't know if I was allowed to be back here at this crossing or not, so I would not recommend coming here to get videos. I just got my pictures and got out immediately to be safe.
