another deep crossing - and it's an odd one too

Multi-tracked, probably 150 yards deep, and a side street with its own gateless in the middle of the crossing:

Four more gateless signals would make that a good triple crossing.

Most of those tracks look pretty highly used. That's not one I'd want to be caught in the middle of. If you follow one of the lines around, you get an action shot.

Apparently the Google car doesn't stop for red lights? Move Street view up on the tracks and and you get the feeling of that you are about to get hit by a train.

It appears the train is stopped for an extended period: all the other cars are blowing the signal too.

The unit is a GP20D. It was build during a joint partnership between EMD and Motive Power, Inc. of Idaho. I believe only 20 were built. All currently belong to CIT/Financial (CEFX).
