MRL 331 rounds the curve through the new crossing warning signals on O'Rea Creek Rd
Title:  MRL 331 rounds the curve through the new crossing warning signals on O'Rea Creek Rd
Description:  When I first started railfanning, the traffic was not as bad on O'Rea Creek Road. With the growth in population in the Bozeman/Livingston area what once was a quiet and serene road is turning into well-traveled thoroughfare. Thus, safer crossing devices to warn cars at blind crossings like this.
