It's within the same division as my hometown so it caught my eye but i dont recall it being posted here..

Anyways, let's watch a passive crossing get upgraded to a signalized grade crossing here in Calera, AL!

This picture caught my eye... for rather obvious reasons. :Blink:

I looked this crossing up on Streetview, and found an active shot of it! http://goo.gl/maps/T3apC

The train has just cleared the crossing and is off to the left.

Just up the tracks from the crossing I posted yesterday. Don't see a train, but it looks as though the signals just activated in this shot:
