*Since I was not able to go see the UP Challenger, I sent my camera along with my railfan buddies Josh and Mike. Thanks to them for taking this video.

[rockchickvw]

They are still up and working as far as I know.

[JANGAJONGA]

[rockchickvw]

Well, I suppose so..but when this was filmed, it was still DM&E.

Almost as good as a wigwag. Thanks for the video.

@gregrocks66 I know!

Late signal

[myrealghostbusters]

i've never seen a crossing signal like that before. nice.

[TheDurnans]

Is it just me, or is that train nearly in the intersection before that signal goes off?

[PereMarquette1223]

It's rare to still have two at one crossing.

[chris40539]

[pele6922]

I'm glad they dont have those signals in Florida. They don't call it FloriDUH for nothing.

[Petemonster62]

Anyone know if the Griswold signals in Rogers Minnesota are still at the crossing?

[htc6600]

A working Griswold! Funny how we take such simple but cool things for granted.
