Could be.
Certainly seems that way. :Confused:
Does Amtrak have a station stop in Granite City? Or no. Also I think we should start a new quote. This one's kinda getting long.

I forgot to mention that. :oops: I hope to film this crossing someday if I ever do go film the MNA trackage. Praying that BNSF has left this crossing alone and haven't upgraded it to their newer signal setup.
