Yes, the sign at this crossing is incorrect.

The 2008 SOR track diagram and “Job Aid” calls this track the “West Industrial Lead”

2014 RLHH Timetable calls the switch just east of “platinum rail” the US steel Lead. But then that lead has switches…

Wilcox St is labelled wrong.

Reviewing other photos taken the same day I see the Blue Emergency Sign attached to the Crossing Signal Cantilever indicates Mile 0.37 Irondale Lead? You are correct the crossing at Wellington St. N. and Burlington St. E is labeled Mile 0.25 Ippolitto Lead.

Still makes me laugh that this is now called the Ippilito lead, when the original one (and still is AFAIK) was the track into P&H down at the foot of Wellington St.
