The
mast signal on the east side. This appears to be relatively new
with the US&S base, but surprisingly, this had a WRRS bell on this same mast. Click here to hear that bell in action.

The grade has been torn out.
The wood surfaces for the grade. I'm not sure if the crossing was being repaired or if it's closed permanently.

"Action" shots from November 2023. You can see the wood grade was replaced with an all asphalt grade.
The signals in Picture 20 appear to
have been here for quite a while, as they have incandescent lights and
single sided crossbucks. I believe most of them came from the
Barstow Sub to the west, as the Mendota Sub doesn't have any gateless
crossings on the mainline.
