Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

I'm used to only seeing Safetran Hybrids in my area on CN (ex IC/CC) lines. Well, other than the one hybrid that CNW installed South of Story City before being bought out by UP.

CP just did a bell swap on this crossing to a Safetran Hybrid!

Old man me remembers this crossing having spent some time at the Mayo Clinic in the mid 1980's, and back then it still had 4 Griswold rotating banner signals.

Huh, that's pretty cool. Too bad it looks like just a lightly used spur line, though. Google Maps shows it going all the way to 30th St. SE but it appears to now end well short of that.
