This was the first (and only) railroad crossing I would record on July 9, 2023. That day, I took the road trip back up to Ohio for family and railroads again, and I decided I was going to finish out the CSX Toledo Subdivision from Trenton southwards, since I had yet to. As soon as I arrived at the first crossing, a southbound came through and I was able to get a crossing recorded. But then it started slowing, and I had a fear that if it stopped, this would doom my chances. But it didn't; all it did was slow to get onto the Middletown Subdivision Branch.
