Re: Google Street View

This is certainly a very unusual pedestrian signal, considering half of it is redundant! https://www.google.com/maps/@42.9762122,-82.4240982,3a,15y,94.44h,98.88t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1siftE895zKEAk2ODUHDFJUw!2e0!5s20190501T000000!7i16384!8i8192 Here is what it was like in 2013: https://www.google.com/m...

Re: Australian Railroad Crossing Signals

I just came across these neat close-up images of the Commercial Rd Railway Crossing in Adelaide that used US-Style SORS signs.

Re: Signals getting damaged/destroyed

Not really a signal being destroyed but a gate light instead due to a broken mechanism, at around 6:02 in this video, the gate fast drops, and destroys the light section of the far left gate light. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbFu-pnDcuQ Additionally, you can see the gate light being dislodged at...

Re: Currently exsiting locations of awkward crossing installs

The West Livingstone Street crossing in Orlando, Florida has became quite an unusual setup since SunRail started installation pedestal and quote gates on crossings, or just replacing old setups entirely. https://www.google.com/maps/@28.5475064,-81.3811356,3a,50.3y,77.54h,94.71t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sA...

Interesting light contraption on top of a railroad crossing signal in Lakeland, Florida. https://www.google.com/maps/@28.0188041,-81.9187344,3a,41.4y,273.05h,101.06t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s2AMMAxp6VPYBPEs-t5oHDQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 A railroad crossing that has been closed off for an unknown reason, I'd ...

Re: Weird Bell Mounts

I can remember around a year or two ago I found a CSX crossing with mounted Safetran Type 3 E-Bells, It was somewhere in Florida but I don't know where.

Re: Signals getting damaged/destroyed

Here is one from Norway, look's like the relay case was destroyed, most likely meaning a new crossing will have to be installed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYHneDEpIwI Here is the crossing on Street View, this crossing was upgraded in 2017. https://www.google.com/maps/@59.1620308,9.6474433,3a,4...
