WSOR 2055 |
| Description: |
The MABLT crew and the 2055 switch cars at the LaFarge cement plant, blocking Stoughton road in the process. The crossing at Stoughton road is the stupidest grade crossing in Madison, making it a contestant for the stupidest in Wisconsin. There used to be an over/underpass here, but some genius decided that routing six lanes of fast-moving, dense traffic under the most hideous crossing lights in the county would be a good idea |
