Could be.

Certainly seems that way.

Does Amtrak have a station stop in Granite City? Or no. Also I think we should start a new quote. This one's kinda getting long.

I don’t think they do. Also, good idea.

I forgot to mention that. I hope to film this crossing someday if I ever do go film the MNA trackage. Praying that BNSF has left this crossing alone and haven't upgraded it to their newer signal setup.

Yeah

That crossing has something more interesting than a GRS gate mech there.
