CNW in the hole |
| Description: |
A northbound CNW freight in its first couple years running via the Cambridge line, waits patiently in the siding for a southbound to pass. Unfortunately, this would get to be a major problem for this line in the 1990s as it was saturated with too many trains after the old NP route was severed in 1987. |

Alot of railroad crossings were protected by these devices and I am guessing it put a biu more pressure on engineers to make sure they stopped! Here it is dropping to allow the CNW train to leave. |
