The funny thing about that RA cover shot at Prairie Ave, and the other shot of the same crossing inside that issue, is they were both a short stroll from my house. In both cases, literally heard them getting their warrant north from Trentwood, then walked out the back door and just under half a mile to the crossing. My wife and I tend to schedule our evening walks through that area based on what we hear coming. Can hear the Clagstone detector from my house, so there's more than a half-hour warning on southbounds if I haven't otherwise heard their warrant. Helps satisfy my hiking urge after a long day at work, when I'm not able to pull together a proper weekend at Palouse Falls State Park or Tunnel 4 or Marias or Trinidad or....
