    Broadway has one of the last manned crossing gates in the US. There is a man in that tower who controls the crossing gates.

    The street crossing is Broadway, I believe, if memory serves.

    He is refuring to the total number of roads that have service in this area. The other 4 railroads you saw were bankrupt roads or run through leasers.

      The GT had a small transfer yard just to the south of here back in the 1980's, seems like yesterday!
