Very unusual level railway crossing.  This is the only crossing in Ohio like this.  The crossing is exempt.  Signals for the train are at both sides of the crossing.  Traffic signals for automobiles turn red after the train approaches and stops next to the lineside signal.  The train has to wait for a green light before proceeding into the huge railroad crossing.  Cars first see a train signal in front of the traffic signals.  This is an industrial railroad spur that dead ends less than two miles from the crossing so every train that passes here has to reverse through the crossing on its way back.  I will show that video soon ( of the train backing up through the crossing on the return trip ).  There are 4 customers that use this line south of the crossing.  Trains only use the crossing one or two days a week.  I caught the first train of the week on this branch and that happened to be on a Thursday and Friday.  The train came within a quarter of a mile of the crossing on Thursday, 2-18-21 and shut down for the day.  The next day, on Friday, 2-19-21, I was able to film the train going both ways through the crossing.   This video shows the southbound move and the northbound move will be posted soon.  The train came out of Middletown, Ohio and picked up 2 cars and set off 1 car on the north side of Mason before this video starts.  The 2 cars that it picked up were left on a siding just north of this crossing.  The train starts across the crossing and that is where this video begins.   We also see the train crossing another crossing in this video that is only cross buck protected.  Near the end of the video we see the train reversing into the customer spur near the end of the line.  There is only enough room for one locomotive and 2 cars at the end of the line for them to reverse into the customer spur.  In other words, as you can see in the video with the map, after the spur switch there is only about 200 feet of track before the line ends.  That's as good as I can explain it.  See Google Maps.  Today the train used 161.385 but the last time I was here they were using 161.430.  Filmed February 19, 2021.  Thanks for watching!
