Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

Hey everyone! Been a long time since I've done my own update, but this one's a big one, not so much in terms of size, but a major change to the state of Illinois. As of today, Illinois is now split into 6 sections instead of 3 since the state has gotten so huge, with over 4500 crossings now! In terms of new content, this covers a big chunk (but not all) of my Illinois adventures since April, as well as a few submissions from Rus and freebrickproductions.

I thought I'd sent more action shots to Tommy, but apparently they didn't get received for some reason. Anyways, this is the rest of the update. Let us know if you find any issues!

I noticed that Sycamore St #2 is missing from Genoa IL. Probably means there are other missing crossings that were on the site before this update. Specifically in IL

This was a necessary thing to do for the section, and you're probably aware, but this broke a whole lot of the site links in your YouTube descriptions.

Such as this one (ironically taken ten years ago to the day of the update):
