How Ralston got its railroad markings

A crew contracted by Park County lays down railroad crossing warnings outside Ralston, WYA worker sprays adhesive on the railroad crossing outside Ralston, WyomingToby (Bonner), the Trib's general manager and frequent photographer, snapped these a week or so back. They didn't make the paper, but I thought they were kinda cool.

A crew contracted by Park County installed this reflective 3M product to create the in-road railroad crossing markings you see out there today. I thought it was rather nifty that road markings are unpacked and dispensed from a roll.

Even if you disagree as to the process's novelty, at least you now know there was real effort involved in creating those extra "thump-thumpities" on the way into Ralston.
