The lone signal also has a relay case on the bottom signal and a US&S Teardrop!!! Though the rails have long since been removed.

Re: Tracks out of service
Hardin Southern Railroad, according to some information it was last used in 2005 by a single passenger train, apparently someone leased the line to the KWT Railway to serve an industrial park in Murray, don't think it ever materialised so the line sat dormant until the tracks were removed in August 2009.Ethan the Railfanner wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2019 4:52 pmHardin, KY:

As for the website, it sat dormant for pretty much many years after winding down operations at the end of 2004, the site went offline towards the end of 2017.

You can see the HSRR name on the crossbuck crossing to the west.

This passive crossing to the east of your link still retains the crossbucks, though keep in mind this image is 5 years old, so it may all be gone now.

Looks like the road was resurfaced over and the tracks towards the crossing were removed prior to when Street View crossed. The line presumably ends here, though i technically got lost looking through the vast vegetation.
https://www.google.com/maps/@36.7674632 ... 328!8i1664
Nothing here.

Street view came through too late. Not sure if this crossing was signalized or not as it looks like the equipment was already removed.

Unprotected crossing

Another passive crossing with HSRR branding visible, probably most likely now gone.

Not sure if there even was a crossing here, but the surface is way different. From there, the line just seemingly ends.

Re: Tracks out of service
Now here's something odd. The last crossing on a little-used line has mast signals, but poles for huge cantilevers. There is one customer between this crossing and the end of the line at the GSP, but their spur doesn't look active. Maybe they are or were planning to widen the road. Rails do look like that might get light use, judging by condition of top of rail.
