What do you think of the sound a train makes whenever one comes down the streets of Colton? Also, how often do they come through and is there any certain day they local train comes through? Just woundering. :-)

Is that wig-wag still there, or did they close the crossing or replace that wig-wag with gates, red lights and bells?
