Around 1430, I decided to head into Carleton to do some shopping. And as I crossed the CN tracks, I saw the most interesting thing.

The signal was showing a LOW AMBER for south/west bound traffic! Looking back the other way, I saw a light, so I decided to head into town.

Soon a single passenger car with "CN ENGINEERING" passed by! I was at the Jones Street crossing when he came, which is right next to the signal. Just before he entered the crossing, the signal switched to high green.
