Comments on: CP 3042 with CP 2242 and three cars trailing heads south on the Hamilton Belt Line entering Beach Road crossing, they will then duck under the restricted overhead clearance of the Grimsby Sub. subway on their way to Kinnear Yard. Based on the time of day it’s bean time.

the crossing goes off pretty well in advance of them getting there, especially considering how slow they’re going

This is a dangerous crossing going both ways.Southbound he comes around a curve and there is the crossing. Northbound he comes under the Grimsby sub and there is Beach Rd with no time to dump the air.

Good observation and explanation. The guy taking the photo should have zoomed out a bit more.

There’s a pole right next to each gate (out of the picture) with overhead bi-directional signals and a lower mounted signal aimed at traffic approaching the crossing.

That’s odd. There is a cross arm to stop traffic, yet, no wig wags in that direction, they are aimed at the 3042.
