This crossing is located on the NS Fostoria District.

This is a double track mainline, but both tracks are separated for some reason, and both tracks have their own set of gated signals.

NOVEMBER 2025 UPDATE: Sir Fluent here. Since Tommy was last out here, a minor change was made to the crossing.

In July 2025, Nicholas Miles made a return trip to this crossing and discovered both gate arms on the north track were replaced and now have RECO incandescents.

The gate arm replacement also affected the south track signals.

In the video below, notice the train is on the closest track, and the bell for that track shuts off when the gates are lowered, while the farther track's bell stays on.  When a train is on the other track, the opposite happens.
