Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
ACL/SCL No right turn light.
https://www.google.com/maps/@33.5727868 ... 6656?hl=en
Judging by the looks of the crossing equipment, it may no longer work.
Loose wire?
https://www.google.com/maps/@30.8310789 ... 6656?hl=en
A crossing that was upgraded, but never had its old cantilevers removed.
https://www.google.com/maps/@29.8917385 ... 6656?hl=en
ACL bridge that could do with some TLC.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Some classic signals in Holton, IN with some classic B&O PL signals next to the crossing!
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.0749193 ... 312!8i6656
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.0749715 ... 312!8i6656
One of the signals even has some GRS 8 inch lights on it!
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.0749745 ... 312!8i6656
An old B&O gateless signal in Osgood, IN with the original GRS 8 inch lights!
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1296395 ... 312!8i6656
Uh-oh!
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1303725 ... 312!8i6656
Looks like a maintainer accidentally left this relay case open, with part of a crossbuck inside!
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1162046 ... 312!8i6656
Here's an odd little B&O cantilever signal:

https://www.google.com/maps/@39.094239, ... 312!8i6656
Here's a rather unique crossing:
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.0969746 ... 312!8i6656
Looks like it has since been closed though, but the signals may have gotten a new lease on life at another crossing right nearby:

Active crossing:

Another active crossing:

Train has an ES40DC leading an SD70MAC and a Dash-9:

Not to mention those old buildings located around the crossing. That would be a great place to railfan.freebrickproductions wrote:Some classic signals in Holton, IN with some classic B&O PL signals next to the crossing!

The extra signal there for the alley kinda looks interesting being almost in a grass field.freebrickproductions wrote: Here's an odd little B&O cantilever signal:

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
I had a feeling I had seen them before. Still worth posting the update about the last crossing though.ToledoRailfan wrote:That has already been posted here before.freebrickproductions wrote: Classic cantilever signals:

Looks like the remains of a code line being used for a power connection to the relay case.NathanFromEngland wrote: What's this? You may call these power lines, but i've never seen this before.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Holy crap! Streetview caught the Sheboygan Wigwags in action! Nice to know that these Wigwags are still there as of July.

There's someone taking pictures too. That would be pretty crazy to get active wigwags and the streetview car in the same shot!
