Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
I'm not sure if the stop sign here would be an FRA violation because it is on a signal even though it is right in front of an intersection. Regardless it is pretty interesting and odd.Joosh wrote: Another classic cantilever

These lights are for this, and these lights are for this. Still pretty odd and interesting though.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Yeah, that was the only thing I could think of for the extra lights. A lot of the crossing signals on that line seemed to have extra pairs of lights for nearby driveways and other pathways people could drive on.ToledoRailfan wrote:Joosh wrote: Three pairs of lights on the front of this signal?

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
I've seen those before. I don't quite know what the amber one does, but the red one is used for signal activation indication. The white one indicates power to the crossing.ToledoRailfan wrote:Interesting crossing wayside cab signal!... Or whatever its called!

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Maybe the amber one lights up when the gates lower and the red one lights up after the gates have finished lowering.ZachL wrote:I've seen those before.

Has anyone noticed that Western-Cullen Hayes E-Bells have been showing up outside of western and western midwestern states?

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
The MBTA is a big fan of WCH e-bells. There are also a few shortlines and regionals here on the east coast (like the NYSW and the CCKY, for example) that are big fans of them as well. The TSRR seems to have adopted them as well.
They/Them for me, please.
