Re: Tracks out of service
Here's an abandoned Illinois Central crossing in Fulton, KY:
https://www.google.com/maps/@36.5061737 ... 312!8i6656
Just west of here was a diamond with the SOU. While the diamond is long gone, an old abandoned SOU signal still stands along the active WTRR line:

Re: Tracks out of service
Malvern, Pennsylvania, might've been posted before, but its worth a look.
This crossing has modern day signals!

This crossing has been resurfaced over, but you can see some trackage to the left.
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.0773323 ... 6656?hl=en
This trestle seems to be in a good condition.
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.1060815 ... 6656?hl=en
1990's Conrail installation, not bad of a condition.
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.1135401 ... 6656?hl=en
Not sure why, but Norfolk Southern have updated the DOT tags here.
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.122966, ... 6656?hl=en
WABCO 12x20's! And cateye crossbuck as well!
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.1312696 ... 6656?hl=en
I like this sign.
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.1318536 ... 6656?hl=en
This crossing ain't in bad shape either!

Always thought that out of service crossings with signals and are overgrown like that are pretty cool.NathanFromEngland wrote: 1990's Conrail installation, not bad of a condition.

Follow the ROW to Wingo, and check out this re-purposed cantilever signal.

Re: Tracks out of service
That is pretty neat. I wish they could've preserved it a little more though. I wonder what the story is behind that signal?SirKrunch wrote:freebrickproductions wrote:Here's an abandoned Illinois Central crossing in Fulton, KY:

Out of service crossing in Van Buren, Maine.

Never would've guessed there was a crossing there. In fact the only reason I know of this former crossing is because a side street near the former crossing only has 2007 imagery and I just happened to notice the advance warning sign in the corner.
