Re: Tracks out of service
This spur doesn't look like it was used in a long time, vegetation grown up on both sides.

Re: Tracks out of service
Looks like a double crossing here, with one track being an abandoned spur.

Found this one in Brookville, PA. Quite nice signals with old crossbucks.

Re: Tracks out of service
Some interesting crossings from an abandoned line from Sarnia to Chatham-Kent, Ontario.
Bagged up cantilevers with no crossbucks or mast lights.
https://www.instantstreetview.com/@42.4 ... ,13.28p,1z
Lights are gone and the relay case has been opened, probably by a druggie.

Double track crossing, both ripped up.

Nothing left of this crossing on the spur.

Back on the main line, featuring some beat-up cantilever signals in the middle of an intersection.

The line is cut right here, and the end of the officially abandoned section. The rest of the line is out of service from here.

Re: Tracks out of service
Google Maps shows a crossing here, but apparently the tracks were removed and the crossing repaved at some point. I how long ago? In Pine Mountain, GA:

Tracks removed here too, at Warm Springs, GA:

Re: Tracks out of service
Wow. These classics with the old school "RAIL WAY CROSSING" crossbucks actually managed to stay up into 2015.

https://www.google.com/maps/@49.2036469 ... 312!8i6656
Strangely, I came across these as I traced the line that has long since been turned into a bicycle trail, but was used for the Bus Scene at the beginning of Atomic Train (1999)
https://www.google.com/maps/@49.247618, ... 312!8i6656
By 2017 it was fully converted to a trail. The signals must have been purely props at the location... because the crossbucks and stop signs were in the same location as they were in the movie. Makes me wonder how far unused this line was when they originally filmed the movie.

Re: Tracks out of service
The only crossing on google street view of an abandoned line that once served the Eagle Mountain mine. It has been abandoned due to the mine's closure in 1986.
