This was the only train I saw on November 21. That day, I went up to Franklin, KY once again to see if I could get Madison Street in action. But turns out I had to wait a while before another train could come by, as I missed an autorack train that just went by, made me a bit bad, so in that case, I had to wait for another train. But out of luck, I was able to get another train through this recently changed railroad crossing. Back in October, I found out that the signal on the near right was being replaced by signal maintainers because someone side-swiped the signal, and apparently, nothing was salvageable, so they putted up a new signal. At least the other 2 signals remain unchanged.
