This very well might be my largest update ever, with almost 8000 new pictures, 201 new videos, and 255 new crossings, primarily from IL with a small handful from WI. Northern, Central, and Southern Illinois are all featured here, UP, BNSF, CN, Metra, NS, and a few shortlines appear in here, and many signal replacements are also featured.

Correction: I apparently missed a few towns that I did, so the new final totals are 8049 new pictures, 205 new videos, and 257 new crossings.

Here's what was missed:
109 new pictures and 4 new videos of 2 new crossings from Midlothian, IL
6 new pictures of 1 updated crossing from Plainfield, IL
17 new pictures of 1 new crossing from Worth, IL

I notice there are "Coming Soon" placeholders on the WI page for locations such as Sharon, Wauwatosa and West Allis. Did you receive my submission from a few years ago where I tried to send in pictures of 63rd St. and 115th St. on the CP line, and Potter Road on the UP?

I also have pictures of Creek Road in Tiffany, WI (near Sharon) from December 2020 and July 2021 when it still had the 8" gateless signals that were recently replaced, and 82nd Street in West Allis from January 2021 with a pair of EM signals with 8" lights. Unfortunately my main PC suffered a power supply failure in November 2021 (before I got around to putting them on Google Drive), so I don't currently have access to the edited (straightened/cropped/exposure-corrected) versions I made of the West Allis pictures nor the updated July Tiffany pictures.

I've also got these pictures from December 2020 of what may be the only fully open (non-pedestrian) gateless crossing left on the CN Waukesha Sub:

I believe all my Milwaukee photos on Google Drive actually got posted to the site; but a lot of those crossings have changed (or ceased to exist) since I lived there.

Also, just odd that UP went through and replaced a bunch of what were already relatively modern signal setups on a lightly used line (Kenosha Sub) in Racine. Doesn't make much sense to me.
