@Number 90 Don't really know about a diamond crossing in Battle Creek From Google Earth it looks like lines join through turnouts. Kellogg really has a large rail network supplying the plants. I did not see any crossings, but I may have just missed one. First time in town and did not get a whole lot of time to explore.
Following is the phone video I shot. I forgot the camera also records voice. Can't believe I was chuckling - taken totally by surprise by the chance encounter with the freight. How fun. The fire station is the red building on the left - right on top of the tracks, no fences, no signs, warnings nothing.
