This was the first railroad crossing I recorded on April 23, 2024. Like yesterday, I was at class at campus at the time. Once classes ended, I decided to head back up to the Mainline Subdivision once again for more action. Unfortunately, I didn't get so lucky as nothing was aligned when I checked the siding, but I decided to wait regardless. After an hour and a half of waiting, I heard something, and it was a long autorack southbound!
The old L&N era signals have since been replaced, like the others within the city center of Portland sadly, but I am slowly wanting to get the new signals in action for the sake of it. What really stands out is that none of the signals have rear mast lights, unlike the previous signals there. How odd.
