Pictures 12-17 and the audio clip below were taken on July 2, 2007. Two WSOR locomotives coupled together pulled up to the crossing, but stopped just short of it. You can see the very front of the platform of one at the far right edge of Picture 16 (they are on the far track). Then the crew threw a switch to get to another track, and they backed away, deactivating the signals.
