Southwest 88th Street

Hollywood Blvd, Presumably number 2

The crossing setup on the second picture looks complicated.

Which second picture, 88th street or Hollywood?

88th street has 4 signals.

Though I think the one you're mentioning is Hollywood Blvd. TWELVE GATES!!!! (It's a quiet zone )

Yeah. It was Hollywood I was talking about.

That's in my plans.

All CSX has got to do is to stick the FEC (Clown units) K5LLA in every engine, SFRTA to remove the quiet zone, and for those frantic blows to be aimed at South Florida Motorists!!!!!

Check out the other side of the road at that crossing... the cantilever for that direction of traffic is on the opposite side of the road???!!!

I'm guessing that is like that because of the close proximity to the intersection, but that just looks weird to me!

Noticed that too, maybe it's TOO close.

Interesting nonetheless.
