Passive Crossbucks And Signals at Same Crossing
I've seen several instances of this before, but nothing like this. At a two-lane highway rural crossing, there are two mast signals, but there are also two crossbucks that are located quite far from the highway. This is just strange, and is located on AR 160 south of Hermitage, AR. https://www.googl...

Signals Not Working Beltline Carrollton TX
Crossing page: http://www.rxrsignals.com/Texas/A-F/Carrollton/Belt_Line3/ Found a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLJ-5IeJ_7w showing an FWWR train crossing Belt Line Rd. In the video, the signals are non-functional. A flagger attempts to stop traffic with two road flares in his hand, but it d...

Re: Norfolk Southern Train derails after striking car.
That's the first time I've seen a grade crossing accident cause a power flash

Strange Equipment Cabinets
This one in Port Allen, LA is the winner. It is a small shed-like building, looks nothing like an equipment cabinet. The DOTsign was the only clue:https://www.google.com/maps/@30.4521817 ... 384!8i8192

Re: 2-Section Traffic Signal at RR Xing in Shreveport
The one near that I originally posted about is long gone. However, I just found another just like it on Linwood Av. https://www.google.com/maps/@32.4508923,-93.7629607,3a,75y,10.06h,90t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sdnMdNOWSWp8N2DO2WfeU-g!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo2.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DdnMdNOWSWp8N2DO2WfeU-g%26ou...

Re: Odd cantilever installation
There are plenty of examples out there of cantilevers being used at angles, but that is the most extreme/odd. The most odd thing is that Google Maps identifies the road near the crossing as "Conrail Railroad". If you go down the road, it is identified with a proper road name

Redundant gate for sidewalk
The crossing on Main St in Grapevine TX has been redone for Texrail (Trinity Metro). An oddity is that the sidewalk on the west side is covered by two gates on the south side of the crossing. On the surface this looks like a goof-up, but after further thought I realized that it could be for the circ...

New Manual? Gate Crossing In Grapevine TX
This is on the old Cotton Belt line beside SH 26 across from Mustang Stadium. This track was recently upgraded for use by TexRail (Trinity Metro). If you look closely, you will see some small electronic boxes at the bottom of the poles. Because of this I cannot figure out if they are manual or someh...
