Hardin, KY:

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt

If I were likely to guess, I think this is an old SOU gated install: https://www.google.com/maps/@36.4749831,-82.2616564,3a,83y,346.21h,94.59t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sjZaKnVn_8PPHBrt1LDGSXA!2e0!7i3328!8i1664 Not sure about this one...

Re: Trains on google street view.

NS 9926, 9131, 2526, 7625, and 8725, pulling a eastbound train near Abingdon, Virginia:
https://www.google.com/maps/@36.6957849 ... 312!8i6656

Here's a fun fact: 8725 and 2526 has since been retired.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt

Probably a mixture of a 1980's/2000 BN/BNSF installation, not sure. https://www.google.com/maps/@45.7299013,-107.6059665,3a,75y,181.44h,88.04t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sCUr-W7tUkhjtzcCgWGODJQ!2e0!5s20130801T000000!7i13312!8i6656 Looks more like a 2000's BNSF install to me.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt

Late-2000's NS installation with US&S gate mechanisms. https://www.google.com/maps/@34.8025367,-82.677291,3a,75y,350.84h,97.51t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sdnr6uZlHo2dpXSEXlD8u3w!2e0!5s20130201T000000!7i13312!8i6656 IIRC, I think NS used to do that in both North Carolina and South Carolina. Those are US&S ...
