Facing North. |
The track goes into a building called "American Foods Group".
The 2 tracks sign used to be correct, when there used to be 2 tracks, but the FRA says it was taken out in 2005, which I doubt is correct.
The other cantilever has 12"x20" mast flashers, along with 12"x24" cantilever lights as seen in pictures 4 and 8.

Pictures 16 and 17 were taken on December 20, 2007. The northbound cantilever has now been removed as well and replaced with another TRACKS OUT OF SERVICE sign. This removal, as well as those at Webster #3 were done about a month earlier, around Thanksgiving 2007. |
