Evening Auto
Author: BNSFC44-9W

Just a grab shot of a westbound auto rack train from a a bit ago in Wheaton.

I was happy to see a C44/60CW second on this train...how many would still be in service?

Thanks!

Is that a message board attached to the crossing device? "If you rush or bypass the gate we'l take your photo and bust you."

@kevink Yep. Wheaton, IL.

@mile250 Those LED boards light up every time there are two trains (or more) in the vicinity of the crossing. They flash "another train coming" when that occurs. They were installed sometime in the last 5 years. Maybe someone with more knowledge on this can explain it in better detail than I can.
