This is a weird crossing. Four crossbucks and 2 mast flashers protect this spur crossing that leads into a Frito plant. Yes, it's the same Fritos chips that you can buy in any grocery or convience store.

 

This road was widened not too long ago. Although the 8" signals survived, they don't appear to be rewired, although that has not been proven yet. That could explain the extra sets of passive crossbucks. Also notice there's no bells on any signals.

Picture 5 shows the relay case.

Unfortunately, the cantilevers found on 39th St. were meant for this crossing. There's no trace of the 8" signals anymore. The 12"x24" lights are incandescent.

 

Picture 7 shows the relay case now firmly in place.

 

BNSF is going overkill on low-active crossings. Cantilevers and gates are not needed on a 4-train per day crossing. The 8" signals would've worked just fine.

 

Note the turned light in picture 9. Another blunder by BNSF. I disapprove of the gate on picture 9. What if someone needs to make a left turn? They'd be stuck until the train finishes crossing. This should've either been gateless, or one of the 8" signals should've been here instead.

On May 24, 2006, Andrew got very lucky and got the crossing in action! You can see someone on the tracks on picture 10. For some dumb reason, he fired off a flare just before the signals activated, almost like BNSF was expecting the signals to fail for some reason?

 

Picture 12 shows the train backing into Frito Lay. The electronic bells are General Signals Type 2.

The train keeps backing in, and the picture was taken in between flashes.

A view from the mast signal. Notice that the left light has not been adjusted yet...
