I did look after the street crossing and running tracks on Goose Island and the north end over the bridge in Chicago.
The intersections of N Cherry Ave/W Division St, N Cherry Ave/N Hickory Ave and the track crossing W. North Ave have all three none of any RR related traffic signs. Even no simple cross bars. That looks very different from the situation I did see in the LA area.
Do I understand it correctly that the City of Chicago completely relies on the red flags and flares of the switcher crew in that area? Did I pick by chance an exception or that in general how light used industry leads are done in Chicago?
