Suzie-Q and the city
Title:  Suzie-Q and the city
Description:  Suzie-Q stops local motorists as they shove across routes 12 & 5 with five boxcars. You can see how the crossing is protected by signals on the asphalt and the railroad. Although it may not look like it, the signal for the railroad here is amber; digital photo technology does'nt do well with this type of light.
