And even better... this crossing not far from there that's still intact with double sided cast iron cats eye signs and reversed 2 track signs!

And a nice special bonus... seeing a train in an active crossing from the middle of an out of service crossing...
Well, :Censored:

Sorry this is years late but according to Canton railfans, the line was used sporadically by BNSF when CN&W pulled out until 1999.

They would have been here. Look at what is to the north as well.
