A freight train passes a diamond crossing, where two rail lines meet perpendicular to each other. The old signal tower and lights line the track. Pulling the train, painted bright orange, are an EMD SD38 diesel locomotive and a rare Baldwin Locomotive Works Baldwin DT-6-6-2000 center cab transfer switcher.
