Re: Tracks out of service
I know this is dumb to ask, can you add timemarks on when the signals operate? I mean, only clip i saw signals trying to work was the light engine passing through a gateless crossing that activates while its crossing. I scanned through the video (didn't have time to watch it front to back). At the ...

Elmwood Park, IL action
I know we have discussed this rather unusual crossing before here, but I can't seem to find any prior conversations using the search feature. Anyhow... thought you guys would enjoy this video I came across today. Those with a good eye might see something else unique in this video. :TUP2: https://www...

Re: Google Street View
Was in the Miami area over the Thanksgiving holiday. Saw these traffic lights that appear to have 3M green sections in them on each side. Kind of odd to have just one of the lights like this, plus the visors are round instead of the normal square-ish. https://www.google.com/maps/@26.5871869,-80.068...
