Salem to Peabody, Massachusetts.
A nice 1960's WRRS installation, but it appears the cantelievers WRRS 8 inch lights were replaced with WCH 12x20 inch lights in recent years.

Crossing railroad.
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.5219833 ... 6656?hl=en
It appears the crossbucks have been replaced along with the sidewalks, must be some economic development going on here.
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.5219799 ... 6656?hl=en
Looks like the branches are beginning to overgrow badly here.
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.5243527 ... 6656?hl=en
Why are there rectangular crossbuck clamps here?
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.5250138 ... 6656?hl=en
...Now i just think this is completely unnessecary.
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.5267679 ... 6656?hl=en
There are some traces of trestles, thanks to satelite view.

https://www.google.com/maps/@42.5581844 ... 6656?hl=en
Interesting crossing.
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.5630093 ... 6656?hl=en
The overgrowth here is insane.
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.5648447 ... 6656?hl=en
Look's like the line ends here.

Re: Tracks out of service
A BAYL branch line in Abbeville, AL:
The signals here have since been removed:
https://www.google.com/maps/@31.5497959 ... 328!8i1664
These signals still stand according to satellite view:
https://www.google.com/maps/@31.5550566 ... 328!8i1664
https://www.google.com/maps/@31.5754555 ... 328!8i1664

https://www.google.com/maps/@31.5720366 ... 312!8i6656
The Abbeville depot:
https://www.google.com/maps/@31.571575, ... 312!8i6656
Further to the east is a crossing that's been abandoned for a lot longer, only part of one track remains visible:

Re: Tracks out of service
Abandoned NS line in Des Moines, IA:
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.5866474 ... 312!8i6656
Back when it still had signals:
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.5866666 ... 312!8i6656
The crossing is on the site as well:
http://www.rxrsignals.com/Iowa/Des_Moines/2(2)/
More abandoned signals:
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.5863885 ... 312!8i6656
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.5861191 ... 312!8i6656
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.5862041 ... 312!8i6656
A pair of older signals with newer lights:
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.5859494 ... 312!8i6656
This crossing is also on the site:
http://www.rxrsignals.com/Iowa/Des_Moines/6(3)/
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.5853791 ... 312!8i6656
The line disappears on the other side of this bridge:
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.5854343 ... 312!8i6656
Another abandoned NS line (which apparently BNSF had trackage rights over):
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.5843055 ... 312!8i6656
Back when it had signals:
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.5843351 ... 312!8i6656
The crossing is on the site:
http://www.rxrsignals.com/Iowa/Des_Moines/6(1)/
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.5843263 ... 312!8i6656
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.5833811 ... 312!8i6656
Nearby there's an abandoned rail. Not sure what railroad used it originally:
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.5819076 ... 312!8i6656
According to sattelite view, this somewhat modern Iowa Interstate crossing has been taken out of service due to the spur it's on having had the switch removed from the main:
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.580797, ... 312!8i6656
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.5810337 ... 312!8i6656
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.5811472 ... a=!3m1!1e3
Another abandoned line in the Des Moines area, also likely NS:
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.5832715 ... 312!8i6656
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.5826931 ... 312!8i6656
The line continues further east, but there's nothing left of it other than the ROW before you reach where it becomes active again.

Fixed. The closing parenthesis made the automatic link generation goof and cut off part of the URL.NathanFromEngland wrote:It just gives me a dead end page.
