These road markings look kind of strange. https://www.google.com/maps/@34.0044588 ... 312!8i6656

Probably trying to keep vehicles (trucks especially) from going into the drainage ditch there.

Also, going back to 2013 shows the crossing in action!

Interesting case out of Plant City here...

2011: https://www.google.com/maps/@28.0128297 ... 312!8i6656
2015: https://www.google.com/maps/@28.0128554 ... 312!8i6656

The mast was downgraded!

Needless to say though, because the entire crossing got upgraded by 2016:

The mechanical bell was also rotated between 2011 and 2015.

Not sure what happened but it seems that the lights on this crossing in Kansas City, Missouri were damaged by the power pole

Looks like signal maintainers are also present https://www.google.com/maps/@39.0971864 ... 6656?hl=en

Going back to 2011 you can see where the pole used to be. The mechanical bell was also removed some time after this. https://www.google.com/maps/@39.0971864 ... 6656?hl=en

Looks like someone hit the pole, which knocked it into the lights.

Sure must be a busy crossing, nice to see the new pole and the lights fixed. It's interesting how GSV went for 3 years between visits, then came past twice in 2 months.

I followed further along the line and found this crossing with both Stop and Yield signs https://www.google.com/maps/@38.7048239 ... 6656?hl=en
That seems a bit confusing, I wonder why it was done.

Active crossing, Roanoke Virginia. https://www.google.com/maps/@37.272667, ... 6656?hl=en

This train had a caboose, it is probably a local. https://www.google.com/maps/@37.2727466 ... 6656?hl=en

Here is a cool old yet odd looking cantilever signal, the signal is now gone because this crossing is now used by the Sugar House Streetcar (S-line). https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7224583 ... 6656?hl=en

Here is an odd signal, it is like this due to a utility pole. https://www.google.com/maps/@38.6016138 ... 6656?hl=en

This crossing also has two mast signals for each road. https://www.google.com/maps/@38.6013729 ... 6656?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@38.6016282 ... 6656?hl=en
