Approach  Contributor's Pick!       
An aspect not often seen, since the traffic on this line is not usually heavy enough that trains need to run on each others blocks. In this case, a grain train had gone south a few minutes earlier, and now the dodger was catching up, in the block, and so lighting up the signal here at Baron. This signal was relocated from a position about 1/2 mile north, in a place that was not convenient for a C&S crew to reach in a truck, and now is immediately south of a road crossing. The signal it replaced was installed only a few years ago. You'd think they'd have put it here in the first place.
