Came across this website tonight. It has some photos in pdf files that give a partial view of crossings, but usually not enough to determine the type of lights and bells.

A pity it lacks many of the closed/abandoned crossings, but it does have this former, double-type crossing:

Reminds me of the FRA's GIS maps. I checked a few crossings out, looks very interesting.

Sweet! Inverted black cat's-eye crossbuck on a UP line!

Re: Lincoln, NE crossing inventory with photos
Nice find. Very, very rare indeed.
Re: Lincoln, NE crossing inventory with photos
The set-ups North of that crossing have the same signal build as well... with the ladder on the back. Looks like a few teardrop bells possibly as well on a couple of them... but with the small resolution size of the photos, and the fact most aren't taken up close, it's really tough to say.
EDIT:
Updated Google Street-View shows that crossbuck has been replaced with a standard one.

Another edit:
Nope, not teardrops. But still a number of classic signals along the line... even though the lights had to have been changed from 8" to 12x24"...
And yet another...
Very nice!

Weird crossbuck... big... and yet, also double sided.
