Re: Signals at McNeil

That set of signals I believe is not for the main but for the siding at there at McNeil. The signal just north of the store is for the main and the interchange track that BNSF put in. All of that area was CTC'd a few years ago so dispatchers better know what is going on.

Subject: Signals at McNeil

Coming down McNeil tonight about 9:15 pm I saw a green signal 
southbound under Toll Road 45.  As I approached McNeil I saw the train 
in my rearview mirror and decided to stop at McNeil.  At the McNeil 
Post Office I could see red over red on the signals just south of the 
commuter rail bridge.  The crossing gates came down and the manifest 
freight rolled by at about 45 mph right past the two red signals!  has 
anyone ever seen a train pass a red signal?  It surprised me!  He 
didn't even slow down!
