Galvin Rd. near Sibley, MO
First two videos were recorded on 6-16-20 while the third one was recorded on 6-18-20. This crossing was one me and Myles had to check out. These signals are located in the middle of nowhere that happens to be near Sibley, and is the ONLY gateless crossing on the BNSF Marceline Sub! Not sure how long the road has been closed off for, but it appears it has been closed off for a long time. Not sure why BNSF didn't rip out these signals when the road was closed off. This road appeared to been another entrance to Fort Osage as I followed this road on Google Earth. Hopefully these signals will remain in service as I have a feeling BNSF will rip these signals out.
Proud owner of 7 mechanical bells along with a pair of safetran 12x20 lights and a 8 inch light. Been a fan of trains since I was little. Main place I railfan on, The Sedalia Sub.

Finally got this crossing in action again on 8-24-20. Thankfully BNSF didn't rip out these signals during track work they was doing on the Marceline Sub. Interestingly enough, BNSF installed new wooden grades here instead of concrete grading like what Mabel Rd, Atherton SIbley Rd, and Curtis Rd received. Nonetheless, I was happy to see these signals still standing for now.
