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. |
