<p>Photo taken by David Elliot<br />
<br />
A Baldwin 4-6-0 crosses the Acre-Turning railroad crossing some time between 1945-1948.<br />
 Notably, this crossing has a signal. The device was actually the first of its kind in the region, installed in 1942 as part of a test being run by Palestine railways. There is a newspaper snippet about it on Israel’s digital archives.<br />
<br />
 It was removed sometime between this photo and 1952, indicated by a future picture.<br />
