There is a spur line, that for the last 8 yrs I have lived here seemed to be abandoned. I noticed, in both the east and west bound lanes of the paved road, a small sign app. 15 meters from the rail that simply reads "EXEMPT". Does anyone know what that might mean, or where I might find out. I was cruising along one night and noticed the lights flashing and bells ringing and thought there had been a malfunction ( I didn't think the equipment even still worked, let alone would be triggered by a train) when I rolled up to the rails there sat a train about 5-6 meters from the pavement behind a building. I was amazed at the number of people that didn't even slow down as they crossed. (Like I said I had not seen a train on this rail in the 8 yrs I have been traveling the road, furthermore, nature had reclaimed the soil beneath the ties as the vegetation nearly covered all of the exposed ties and rocks.) I digress. I wondered if the "EXEMPT" signage had anything to do with the fact that the rr lay barren for so many years?
