This crossing is located on the Midwest Central Railroad which is
inside the county fairgrounds in Mt. Pleasant. This is on the
eastern lead to the train barn.

Overview of 2 gateless signals facing north.

Overview facing south.

The southern signal. Both signals feature stop signs. I'm not sure if they actually rotate or not.
|
The northern signal. This is also the only gateless crossing on the MCRR (not including the MERY crossings to the south).

The relay case in the southwest quadrant, which has a glass pane over it so guests can see the relays in operation. Neat!
|
A return visit by Hopen111 shows the northern signals' stop sign is now yellow.
I can also confirm the signs DO rotate when this crossing is activated!
At least if you are lucky enough for a train to enter this barn lead,
which only ever happens when a train is done with its run around the loop.
Here's a helpful tip: if a train is about to go through this crossing, the
light at the junction to the east should be red. Be sure to pay
attention or you could miss the activation of this crossing.
