Railroad Crossings of the BNSF Chicago Sub

The BNSF Chicago Sub, commonly referred to as the Racetrack, is a triple track mainline that runs from Chicago to Aurora. This famous line is very busy and sees about a hundred trains on a typical weekday, the bulk of which being Metra trains. The Metras are often see running side by side, hence the name Racetrack.

The crossings on this line are all maintained by BNSF, and as such, almost all of them have GS E Bells, with the exception of Harlem Ave. in Berwyn which has a WCH E Bell. All of the bells operate in a unique fashion too, in that they operate from when the signals start, to when the train enters the crossing. I don't recall seeing this on any other line, and as far as I can tell, is exclusive to the Racetrack. Aside from that, the crossings are your typical BNSF style installs, and even a bunch of BN installs still remaining.
