Did they change the 800- number on the ENS signs for "The Railroad"?

Mudchicken Nothing is worth taking the risk of losing a life over. Come home tonight in the same condition that you left home this morning in. Safety begins with ME.... cinscocom-west

Mendon, Michigan used to have the Grand Rapids & Indian-PRR-PC-CR.

Three River, Michigan was the New York Central-PC-CR. The tracks through Three Rivers are now the Norfolk Southern leased to Watco for the Grand Elk Railroad.

That leasing agreement to Watco is why the name of the railroad is not put on any of the grade crossign signs. They used to have the Norfolk Southern name all along the mainline on signal boxes and grade crossing signals, but now it is just "The Railroad".
