Recorded 5-1-20. After catching the southbound BNSF coal train at Truman Rd #2, Independence Railfanning told me that a train was gonna go south on the UP Coffeyville Sub, without hesitation, I went over to 17th st to film it. This crossing is another double crossing as the KCT signals (which can be seen in the distance) activate at the same time the UP signals do, unlike Kentucky Rd in Independence where its safetran mechanical bell only rings when the KCS signals are active, this bell rings when the UP signals are active and when a KCT train goes by. Train itself is another loaded coal train heading south. I'm certainly glad to catch both trains on the KCS Pittsburg Sub, and the UP Coffeyville Sub.
Proud owner of 7 mechanical bells along with a pair of safetran 12x20 lights and a 8 inch light. Been a fan of trains since I was little. Main place I railfan on, The Sedalia Sub.
