Looks like the lights were upgraded since the photos for the site were taken:

Oddly enough, the new lights appear to be older Federal Signal or WCH 12x20s?
They/Them for me, please.

It sucks that the 8" lights with the shield guards are gone, those were something that I always thought were cool.freebrickproductions wrote:Looks like the lights were upgraded since the photos for the site were taken:

I honestly don't remember. It might've, but it also might've been on Facebook instead.ToledoRailfan wrote:I thought it was discussed in the forum that the teardrop was removed?freebrickproductions wrote:At least the RACO and Teardrop live on!ToledoRailfan wrote:freebrickproductions wrote:Looks like the lights were upgraded since the photos for the site were taken:

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Active crossing in Elmore, AL with a southbound CSX train stopped at it with a CSX SD50-3 leading an HLCX SD40-2:

This woman then got out of her car later, and I'm not sure why, but she is on her phone:

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Just a thought... but since that is a passenger van I wonder if she is there helping with a crew change? Which could explain why the train is stopped? There is someone from the train crew walking here:freebrickproductions wrote:This woman then got out of her car later, and I'm not sure why, but she is on her phone:

Also, looks like this signal on the other side got gently side swiped. It was fixed the next time through in 2016.
