Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Found this rather odd 4 way intersection installation in Bradenton, FL. It includes a mast signal for pedestrians, even though the sidewalk runs parallel to the tracks. :Confused: https://www.google.com/maps/@27.4878778,-82.5654173,3a,90y,354.27h,90.13t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s9_s4Film2cl42D3h389uPQ!2e0...

Re: The busiest crossing in Tampa?
I'm just curious in which crossing in Tampa is the busiest crossing. I mean, the hotel i live in is right next to a crossing, but gets only 2 trains a week as it services a bottling plant, what is the most busiest crossing in the Tampa area? Zach is better qualified to answer this than I am... but ...

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Just found out the hotel i'm staying in Tampa next year is next to this crossing, however i'm guessing its just used twice a week by CSX. :OhWell: https://www.google.com/maps/@28.0531149,-82.4262331,3a,51.6y,180.4h,98.81t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sy92amNCUZepQYOY5K5Rquw!2e0!5s20160801T000000!7i13312!8i66...

Re: Signals getting damaged/destroyed
This was in Georgia... warning, there is some foul language: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xq3pne5kR0 And you can't forget about this one is Salisbury, NC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ub50ai8QAaI This one was also in North Carolina. By some miracle only the gate mast was damaged but the separ...

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Interesting set up on this crossing at an intersection in Provo, Utah. I guess if you want to turn right while there is a train you are out of luck. https://www.google.com/maps/@40.2258208,-111.6714515,3a,75y,80.86h,104.92t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s2Ez25lbm3cEQEDAX2U6tLA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en This sig...

Re: Tracks out of service
Found some remains of an A-frame gate in Benjamin, Utah! https://www.google.com/maps/@40.0853678,-111.7038807,3a,75y,107.84h,94.02t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sJVvskYQuyzJpwe7TragiWA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en Looked a little better in 2007. The other side had a normal gate: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.08...

Re: Ash St Closed
By plane... about 3 hours. If you drive (which I have done now more than I would like)... it is about 18 hours with just basic stops for restroom breaks and fuel.NathanFromEngland wrote:How long does it take to get from Largo, FL to Springfield, IL?

Re: Google Street View
Blurred building on GSV, i believe this was the site of a nightclub fire in the 1940's. https://www.google.com/maps/@52.5673526,13.1969206,3a,75y,142.32h,103.52t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sIxKJUgonm_-u9r4slBy3jA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en Well... if they are going to go through the trouble of blurring it on...
