[@MobileRailSpotterRxR]

Great catch and find! Very interesting crossing.

[@kyleb06]

Thanks!

[@ACs_Trains]

Now that's a big cantilever! Great video!

[@kyleb06]

Thanks!

[@streettrain4114]

The giant Swing~rail~bridge at Fort Madison has also a alarm~siren🔊 !

[@kyleb06]

Yep.

[@nicoleasyowell1070]

I know that cantilever is the world's largest and possibly next genuineness word record for the largest cantilever in the city of Saint Louis, MO.

[@kyleb06]

Yea.

[@JaeisJustJae]

This is cool!

[@missiondemolition]

Stoughton Road Madison, WI has a similar size.

[@missiondemolition]

This cantilever is 230.34 ft/70.21 m! Okeechobee Blvd in West Palm Beach, FL is only 143.21 ft/43.65 m. Stoughton Road is 178.93 ft/54.54 m.

The alarm~sound is reminiscent of the Skull and Crossbones ~ level crossing that once existed in Grenada, Mississippi. Unique in the world. Unfornately there is no video of it, but a virtual reconstruction ! With siren🔊❗ On You Tube. (bnsf50) Short, but 💥Spectacular !

[@kyleb06]

Yeah it reminded me of that too.

[@BNSF0173]

Very cool! That’s probably very expensive, is that crossing on a truck loading area?

[@kyleb06]

Yes

[@BNSF0173]

@@kyleb06 it’s a smart move by the people but probably expensive. Very unique stuff

[@EJE665]

Manufacturers Railway no longer exists, The Prairie Line is the owner of this track now.

[@kyleb06]

Thanks for the info!

[@ItsLegendarySparrow]

Did the crossing have that alarm or was that a random truck?

[@kyleb06]

The crossing does

[@chcknmr]

Is there an intersection nearby where this can be seen on google maps street view?

[@RailfanDon]

That's really big

[@kyleb06]

Yeah.

[@jaspertherailfan2146]

RRS?

[@jaspertherailfan2146]

Replaced?

[@kyleb06]

It's at Private Crossing #4 and still there.

[@LARDLOGO]

That's kind of disappointing to be honest. Needs better flashers. Probably looks better at night but I assume that trains don't run here at night because it's an industrial lead.

[@kyleb06]

Yea. Only trains are on Saturday and Sunday in the morning.
