This morning, I woke up early to head to Wapakoneta to meet @RailfanNS. When I got here, I missed the end of M558 heading north. I wait for him to arrive and see that the signal nearby lit clear for a southbound. He arrived and CSX manifest M559 comes south passing the Pearl Street (OH-67/OH-501) railroad crossing in Wapakoneta on the Toledo Sub.
This crossing is a nice pair of CSX 1980s installs that have had their crossbucks and the eastern signals gate replaced. Thankfully, they still have their two WCH mechanical bells.

CSX M559 (Daily Manifest) [Willard, OH - Queensgate Yard, Cincinnati, OH]
