2-20-25 Update

[Hopen111]

After beating my personal record for quickest time to get Iowa ready, here's the February 2025 update! In terms of different countries and states updated, this is one of the largest (if not THE largest) updates I've ever done! There's a lot of stuff to note, so here goes.

Coverage in Iowa includes the UP Clinton Subdivision between Colo and Marshalltown, as well as a new and updated crossings in the Des Moines area. Some notable crossings are Aurora Ave. #1 in Des Moines, 230th St. in State Center, and Nevada St. in Marshalltown. All of these have a ASC 2nd Gen E-Bells! The most interesting one of these is the one in State Center, which is side mounted!

Huge thanks to Bryant's Railfan Productions and Solid Cold for submitting new crossings in California! Coverage includes an updated crossing in Sacramento and rare display signals in Santa Clara!

Thanks again to Solid Cold for submitting another crossing in Canada, as well as The BC Railfan for submitting videos of crossings in BC and ON! Canada has been completely updated which also includes fixed thumbnail sizes in Ontario!

We also have an unexpected submission from an unexpected place! Thank you menameisdaniel for submitting photos of more crossings in Hong Kong, as well as extra videos!

A small update for Illinois is here too, with NSSignal submitting a new crossing in Genoa, IL!

The rest of the Ohio update resumes, as well as Indiana getting some new photos as well, all thanks to tomasthetrain3! Coverage includes crossings in Fort Wayne and New Haven IN, as well as various cities in Ohio L-Q and R-Z.

clos also makes a return with new and updated crossings in Garum, Blitar, and Mojokerto in East Java, Indonesia. However, we now have a new submitter from WEST Java! Huge thanks to Lushie for submitting photos of the first crossing in Indonesia with Siemens S-80 gates!

Maine also makes a return with RailfanRXR submitting photos of new crossings in various locations in the southeast of the state. This also includes some very rare display signals in Kennebunkport!

Yet another new submitter has begun submitting photos, but this time, from Kings Mountain, North Carolina! Thank you Railfan of the Carolinas for submitting! Ethan's photos of Kings Mountain are also included.

We also have another new submitter from Poland! Thank you Szymex02 for submitting! ElectroTiel also makes a return with a new crossing right next to the Belarus border in eastern Poland!

South Korea gets updated again, thanks to a new submitter, riyoonkim! Only one crossing has been added so far, but more are to come!

I also did a quick update in Virginia since the rare Fail-Safe crossing in Elliston now no longer exists, and I also fixed all 16:9 thumbnails in the state!

Washington gets new crossings in the Seattle area, thanks to holdyourspike! An interesting crossing update of note is the knocked over signal in DuPont, which was fully documented by him as the railroad repaired it!

And finally, the moment you've all been waiting for! A brand new 102 revamp, and Argentina!!!
Huge thanks to valen for submitting a new crossing and video in Chacabuco, Buenos Aires Province!

102 has been through a major revamp, and now has future sections planned out for future updates that will happen in the following updates this year! General Signals Electronic Bells is completely updated, as well as a new page on Toa Japan Electronic "bells"! Gate mechanisms has also gotten an update to include some new gate mechanisms! Back arrows have also been added to all 102 pages, and Electro-Tech LEDs thumbnails have been fixed! Huge thanks to UPking for getting information on the various types of GS E-Bells!

It was great working on making webpages and getting the rest of the Ohio content on here. Now that I got all my stuff from 2024 on the site now, Its time for me to plan on doing a lot more crossings across the state of Ohio on multiple lines.

[RailFanRXR]

Huh, somehow I've never seen that Fail-Safe signal before. Interesting.

Nice to see some more ASC e-bells and international crossings.

While I was browsing the Iowa section I noticed someone added the pictures I posted here of the abandoned Iowa River RR crossings in Steamboat Rock. Hadn't even realized that was done.

Edit: Looks like it was just the crossing on V Ave. north of the town. There are also pictures of the 1st St. crossing in town (which also previously had a Griswold), and the Main St. (D-35) crossing on the east edge of town if someone gets around to them.

I can add those photos on March 20th if that's fine with you!
