Very nice but I must ask is there a switch operation going on there? Due to the pics seen a slow freight passes and as he is ready to leave and approaches crossing I note the box car is back near the crossing

railroader9731 that is exactly what Francois is thinking as the freight went by!

As a matter of fact the short freight that previously left has indeed stop. Both signal are indicating STOP (red)
and that train did not make it far pass the crossing.



So why did that short freight had to stop?


Is there another train coming?
Did Francois made it across and went home?

I don't know anout you but I haven't noticed any lights on the long hood eihter that would indicate
the engine is about to reverse..



But then again I haven't notice any lights on the short hood either...hmmmmmmm!
And yes it did stop quite close after the crossing.



But then again maybe this is just enough of a mystery for now..
