- On this edition, we look at the Kankakee St. crossing in Wilmington, IL on the UP Joliet Sub. This has seen a somewhat odd transition from GRS signals installed by the GM&O to an unfinished quad gated setup.

I used to live a few blocks away from this spot There is a creek that my friends and I used to fish in as small boys. I would ride my bike over this crossing many times when I was in 5 th grade. Oh the fond memories!
UPDATE: That The Crossing Quad Gates & Pedestrian Signals Were Finally Installed Now Making The Crossing Quad Gated.
Can you make more of these?
awesome video
This edition of Crossings Through History features this grade crossing located in Will County.
I was lucky enough to see it in activation in March 2018 right before they ripped it up
1:17 BTW There is now 1 Accident at the Crossing involved back in August of 2022 with a Amtrak Train struck and killed a Pedestrian.
Also Fun Fact: That There Used To Be A Old Depot Next To The Crossing But That Was Demolished In 2012
My hometown , I used to walk those tracks and crossing as a kid
Hope your doing well in the flood
Great vídeo!
Cool video
😱 cool man I wanted to see that railroad crossing I wanted to share that mechanical bill but now they replace a new railroad crossing
That electric signal was loud and very fast
The double track is still not completed…
How Come This Crossing Never Got It’s Exit Signals Or It’s Pedestrian Gates?
The project was halted for a long time due to funds. However, they actually did recently finish it. It's fully quad gated with pedestrian gates now.
