88th Ave. #2 Railroad Crossing, Commerce City, CO

Описание: After catching the Z, I got word from a friend that an MNYNP was leaving Denver. I went up to the 88th Avenue crossing to catch it.

This crossing had been one I’ve wanted to catch for a bit. This crossing features a pair of Griswold cantilevers, which were likely installed in the 50’s or 60’s. The gated mast signals are a pair of newer WCH UP signals that likely replaced some older gate masts. Glad to have this one recorded.
