We will always remember these signals. Rest in Peace GS type 3

[@NSSignalGuy]

Never mind the GS type 3 was reused

[@NSSignalGuy]

Did you know this is the only crossing in Illinois to have two major highways intersecting with a train line running right through it

[@frankym274]

Nice Catch

[@davidlineweaver2263]

IL 38 through DeKalb is part of the Lincoln Highway historic route. You see that UP/CNW line a LOT driving on that road, but you seldom see it with as much drama.

[@BilgeDweller]

We had an auto carrier hit here some years ago. The truck was coming from the right side of the frame, and trying to turn right to where the Chevy dealer was then. Boom, Chevy SUV's all over the place.

There is Two GS Type 3 E Bells at this crossing instead of NEG

[@fallguysplayedits3503]

I don't know what is this thing that generates that sound? 

[@NSSignalGuy]

Its a wayside horn
