Just west of the grade crossing at Carr Street is the "high/wide" detector at MP 8.4. The wires around this detector equals the tunnel with the smallest clearance. If anything is hanging off a car on a train, it'll trip the wire. The train would then stop to check to find the car is cannot fit through the tunnel(s). In the distance, the westbound Zephyr is approaching.
