Looks like a faded GS E-Bell here:

Another faded(?) GS E-Bell up north:

Not sure what you mean by these. They look pretty normal in color for a GS e-bell if you ask me.

To be honest, based on how I look, I'd say those are faded, even if street view had bad quality.

It might just be how the sun's hitting them.

Nice!

Now if only the Tampa Bay area had a commuter rail system like Orlando and Miami, that'd be great.

Brightline is considering extending to the Tampa Area In the future. They already have plans for an extension to the Orlando-Disney World Area in the VERY near future so you may not have to wait for long! :D

A lot of towns in Alabama seem to disallow trucks to pass through railroad crossings. Wonder why.
