[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 432471, member: 10543"] That's it alright. Most of it is now just a tiny component within the enormous Union Pacific Railroad. I think these markers are evidence of a U.S. Federal regulation to identify all highway/rail grade crossings. Most markers I've seen also contain a toll free phone number to contact the railroad to avert trouble, say from a stalled vehicle on the tracks or malfunctioning flashers. The caller identifies the crossing code and the railroad knows its exact location so that nearby trains can be stopped or repairs made. [/QUOTE]
