Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Why are these lights separated from each other?

For some reason, this is Brewster, Florida. But GSV picks it up as Mulberry, Florida.

Looks like it's because they were originally aimed towards traffic coming around the curve:NathanFromEngland wrote:Why are these lights separated from each other?

I can't work out if this was a light for the relay case, or just a fan in which somebody has tried to block with wires.

That was actually a weather-head where the power for the relay case was connected through.NathanFromEngland wrote: I can't work out if this was a light for the relay case, or just a fan in which somebody has tried to block with wires.

Of an older variety, I believe. For a long time, no-one could figure out who made those, but I suspect that they're WABCO (or at the very least US&S) as they've only been found on installs that feature WABCO equipment.NathanFromEngland wrote: WABCO 12X20 inch lights?

Just a 5 inch mast signal which has had an extension fitted onto it for some reason, though it appears that it was done to hook some power to that signal for some reason. Here's how it looked before:NathanFromEngland wrote: Former base for a cantilever?

An 8 inch Eagle Flat-back double beacon. I doubt it works though.NathanFromEngland wrote: What's this?
