The stop sign is for the intersection, not the crossing.
IMO.
Just what we need. Another member in the forum that uses weird text chat abbreviations that many of us don't understand. :Roll:
You really don't know what IMO means? :Blink:

I actually edit Wikipedia a lot (yes, I'm a very cool dude :Roll: ), a lot of times if there is a more high quality photo that is appropriate to the infobox, someone will use it to replace a previous lesser quality photo. I actually noticed that Daniel Andrews photo was changed because I like to... browse through Wikipedia a lot (I have a lot of spare time :Roll: ).

Interesting cantilever:

WABCO bell!

https://www.google.com/maps/@39.7736427 ... 312!8i6656
Sadly, it's now gone:
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.773514, ... 312!8i6656

However, it was recorded back in 2009 long before the crossing was upgraded:
