Story County E-18

Post by SirKrunch »

On the way to work this morning, saw the UP maintainer working on the lights on this crossing. Didn't think much of it, as these have never really been touched since being installed years ago. Heck, they've never realigned the bell yet when the new gates were put up on Highway 69 and received their own bell. Anyway, I happened to notice on the drive home that he replaced the Safetran incandescent lights with UP LED's now.

I speak my mind, if you don't like that oh well. I'll have you fill out a hurt feelings report and submit that to my office.
