Apologies if I briefly talked in this video. I went to go film the eastbound Amtrak Missouri River Runner with fellow railfan and friend, Independence Rail. Crossing itself is unique in a few ways, for one, both bells at this crossing ring the entire time the signals are active which is uncommon for this section of crossings as most of the bells here stop ringing as the gates lower, Second, this crossing has a working wch mechanical bell, and lastly, this crossing has a gs type 3 e bell which replaced a dead wch mechanical bell back in 2017.

Caught another train at this crossing. Nothing has changed to this crossing since I last filmed here.

I did also catch this westbound mixed freight as well. This time on the side with the gs type 3. For some odd reason after Vermont Ave's signals activated, Sterling Ave's signals activated before this crossing did. I'm not sure why though.

Recorded on 3-10-20. No major changes has happened to this crossing since the last time I filmed here in December.

Recorded on 6-4-20. I haven't filmed this crossing in awhile. No changes have occurred since I last filmed here back in March.

Recorded on 3-4-21. Certainty glad I was able to film this crossing again as I really like the bell combo here. Thankfully no changes have happened here since the last time I've filmed here.
