Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

Since the power lines to the grade crossing cabinets have been severed and removed, and gates broken and continuing to fall apart, does this indicate the future of that line?

Would it be that expensive to keep the track passible in case of sabatage to main line tracks?

How much does an electric meter cost the railroad per month?

I found a tornado siren which has not even been tested since the meter was replaced in 5-2004.
The meter has cost that city $850+ since 2004.

I'd kill power, and change the signals down to crossbucks, but the FRA muddles in those kinds of things unfortunately...

Thanks.
Yes. I'd want to at least place [EXEMPT] signs on them and remove the STOP signs from crossbuck signs.
Think of all the fuel and pollution and brake wear that would be saved!

Does anyone knowhat will happen to this line?
Looks like the low pound 39-foot rails will eventually be taken up.
