GRS Gate mech at Granite City, IL
That crossing has something more interesting than a GRS gate mech there. :Wink:
Yeah, the Safetran type 1

Again, do not double post like this. Wait at least a full day or until someone responds before making a second post in a row, whichever comes first. Until then, edit your first post and add the extra stuff onto the post.
They/Them for me, please.

Sure hope no-one needs to access this base anytime soon:

The one on the other side looks to be slightly better, but I still ain't sure it can even be opened:

crossing looks familiar. Oh wait I remember this crossing being on the site. Sad to see that UP replaced the old griswold em signals with newer gate mechs, and e bells.

Yep. I clicked the link on that crossing and found that. Been that way around 2007-2014 or so.,

Least google caught it in action though. Even if the crossing is already on the site.
