Nice find!

Pretty cool that they preserved those classic signals in their original location! At least I assume that is their original location!

Makes me wonder how long those are going to stick around! All traces of the railroad right there have been converted to rail-trail at this point.

They more than likely are. It's not often that you see signals get moved around without being repainted and/or restored.

It looks like they intentionally left them there, just like that one rails-to-trails crossing in Maryland with the inverted crossbucks and those ones somewhere in Florida.

Probably the only change that they made was moving the signals to the same side of the crossing, unless that road use to be a one-way road.

Likely a one-way road.

The signals look to be of NC&StL heritage as well, as they appear to be using US&S equipment except for the bell.

I love the split crossbuck! I'm not sure if that is common in Tennessee.

Almost looks like a rails-to-trails there, very dense forest.

The L&N did it a lot on their crossbuck crossings. Here's just a few examples here in Alabama and up in Tennessee:

Though sadly, CSX and other railroads have replaced a lot of them, so they're uncommon to somewhat rare down here now. What's really rare though is a split crossbuck on a signal, such as these:

Though a few signals still retain the mounts for split crossbucks:

Here is an abandon spur in Seneca Falls, New York.
