I'm not entirely sure why they decided to put the whistle posts back in after being absent for many years since it's a quiet zone. If anything, it's just to remind engineers that there are crossings ahead, since they are still required to ring their bell through the crossings and station platforms.
-
That's actually not used as a baggage car any more. Next time you see it, you'll see that it actually says "Buffer car" on the side. They use it for transporting high end door cars (Superliners and Surfliner cars, which have upper level doors to cross between cars) to the Beech Grove repair facility near Indianapolis. One end of the buffer car has a special diaphragm so it doesn't damage the diaphragm on the high end door cars.

Yah.

Yeah I assumed the 3 meant 3 crossings.
-
The W QZ 3 sign means there are 3 quiet crossings too close together to put three different signs. It looks like that's right before LaGrange Road, which would make sense since there are three crossings there back to back to back.

Thanks!!
