Re: Crossings on 2 way roads with only one side gated

There used to be a couple in Dallas TX on the old MKT line, which became DGNO. It has now been reconstructed for DART, and these crossings have been changed. http://www.rxrsignals.com/Texas/A-F/Dallas/Inwood/ No longer ground-level trackage here http://www.rxrsignals.com/Texas/A-F/Dallas/Mockingbird...

Odd Advance Warning Signals

This is just dumb. A standard mast signal with crossbuck is used where the RXR should be. The proper way to do this would be RXR TRAIN WHEN FLASHING with amber traffic signal style lights NY 28 (Scenic) The Glen, NY https://www.google.com/maps/@43.5846887,-73.8637292,3a,43.7y,165.81h,82.76t/data=!3m...

Re: Bell only crossings

I was able to photograph the bell-only crossing at McCloud OK. I can send the pics to someone if they are willing to make a page for it

Unique Overhead Truss Signal In Wichita KS

This one is unique because it has lights mounted below it, and it is a single structure that goes over both the tracks and the roadway https://www.google.com/maps/@37.6213215,-97.2943948,3a,40.7y,345.52h,90.94t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1so0BrvBkIiTLL2VWAG7ns9Q!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo0.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3Do0...
