Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

Starting tonight with those I don't have pictures to upload of:

* Kirkwood Road UP crossing in Kirkwood, MO: The Northbound (south side of tracks) WCH m-bell has been changed to a WCH e-bell

* Davis Ferry Street UP crossing south of Dupo, IL: The black, non-teardrop bell has been replaced with a GS style e-bell, otherwise, this gated crossing appeared unchanged.

* Pontoon Road in the Pontoon Beach, IL area at Alton and Southern: This one had a Westbound new pole with a WCH e-bell, rear lights, and an empty gate holder behind the westbound cantilever. Current view:

* Pontoon Road at NS, UP and KCS: Pontoon Road has been shifted onto the new crossing pictured in streetview. The new signals consist of gates with a Safetran type 3 e-bell on the EB signal. Old view:

The electronic bell for Kirkwood is old news. That happened back on April 24, 2009. The webpage for that crossing has the update listed on it, although there are no pictures yet.

that sucks!

Looks like it was a very windy day when the google car got this crossing. Look how much that gate closest to the camra is bending! Wow!

No not windy look at the grass and the smoke in the distance its all pointing the other way
plus with all the truck traffic this area gets probable some dumb truck went around the gate and hit the rear of that gate

The bell at Leffingwell #1 in Kirkwood is back to only ringing from activation until the gate is down and again when the gate rises.

That's surprising... Especially since it's a quiet zone there.
