Dan,


Yep, you were pretty close to Mr. Barry's location in your photo, but facing the other direction. Nice shot! I think tomorrow's batch should have a shot that's almost identical to yours (facing the same way)


As for the crossbucks, maybe it was like an "early warning system" before you got to the Station Road xing? Perhaps there was no good location to place it right at the crossing itself?
