The crossing protection in the distance was completely replaced back in the winter.  Contributor's Pick!       
It and the wooden utility pole were sheared off by someone who lost their life running from police. The gate on the ground is at least the third one since then to be replaced. This is a well marked and well lit crossing, still people try to beat the system.

C Western General No surprise Fred. Yesterday I watched a SUV with a lady and children sit across a FEC track. She was on the phone and the signal 100' south of the crossing was high green. 7/24/2012 7:45:02 AM
Fred Stuckmann General It's daily fare around here, a Wheeling maintainer just carries a couple of gates on his truck. He counts on changing one every day or so. 7/24/2012 7:51:58 AM
