@TNT314159 Ha! You're not kidding. Coal trains are restricted to 10mph all the way from the wye in North Chelmsford all the way to Bow (I live a few miles south of the Bow powerplant.) Track conditions are horrid...
Thank God that crazy level crossing bell was not in Finland; there level crossing bells keeps ringing until the train has passed and the barrier lifted! It would have sent you mad!
Great shots, Matt. I really love the standard cab C40s. 87341 definitely needs a new coat of paint. BTW, is that a WRRS mini-bell I hear in the second shot?
That horn sounds like it came from an SP unit!

Neither had I, but when I got a tip that this crossing had a crazy bell I made it a priority to go there to catch this train
