Video 1: Right as I pulled into town, the flashers at the West County Road 550 South crossing started going off. Perfect timing to get this video of a southbound freight!

Video 2: About 10 minutes after the first train came through, the flashers started going off again for this northbound freight. Given the time between them, opposite directions, and speed difference, I am 90% sure the two trains passed at the South Raub siding.
