Shots like this just take me back to my childhood! I have always (and will always) LOVE the EMD Spartan Cab. Here, the South Local makes a safety stop on the Military Junction branch leading to Western Metals by Cedar Creek. You can see the intersection at South Natches Ct in the background. Note the "double green" traffic signal, indicating the local is clear to back across South Natches Ct. This prevents the traffic signal from giving a green signal across the tracks and enables a "no right turn" electronic sign for traffic approaching Oxford on Natches Ct.
