This line in Brazil looks to be used, but one of the signals is missing a light! https://www.google.com/maps/@-22.6445204,-43.6596653,3a,69.2y,315.77h,87.58t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sj-FAv69Ga5cQrCEvfD_-WQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 https://www.google.com/maps/@-22.644465,-43.6597196,3a,43.3y,50.97h,113.9t/data=...
