Today I took train # 060 from Plymouth to Boston. I had not been on an Old Colony line train for several months and I noticed that a series of "flanger warning signs" have been installed before grade crossings on the branch. Was this done recently? Did a "plow extra" actually run on the O.C. lines during the last month when we got the "blizzard of 2005"?

Curious......

Paul,

If I remember correctly, the flanger signs have been there since the OCRR reopened in '97.
