Continually updating this journal post for personal use.

My lifer! Thank you to Dylan Horvath and all the Nature Preserve volunteers that work to make the crossing as safe as possible for the salamanders and educational for so many people!
Technically my lifer!
Last three pictures by @mark2060
Upper individual has some kind of lesion on its head.
Younger (very small) but no yellow tails, so not that young
Juvenile, ran into tree hollow
I genuinely don't know if this was a huge Northern Dusky or a light-colored Spring Salamander. If it's a Spring, it'll be my lifer. I want a second opinion.
I'd guess it was around 5 inches long.
I'll attach the little video clip I got of it later, it was way too fast and too slippery to get a good look at.
I suspect this is a garter, but I'm not super familiar with the area and I don't have my guide
Safely removed from premises
Chased this stinker for a half an hour and these are the only pictures I got. A couple feet long, greyish green.
Lifer! Finally.
