One of the oldies! I actually recently made an (unpublished) update for that page. I hope to get this up soon along with other pages that I've updated for the same reason.

Google also caught this crossing in action. Hard to believe that that line is a Class 2 line.

Someone needs to get out and take some more photos. I can't since my parents are so lazy and are not renting a car for Florida and make our family look like people who can't afford a car and make me look like a commuter. :aaargh:

I do, but i usually upload every few weeks. At the moment, i can't go out due to family related matters (Nothing serious) but cause my parents have things to do and that my dad has a job means i can't go out to record trains often. I haven't been to a railroad crossing (Well, in the UK we call it a level crossing, but i call it Railroad Crossing because i feel like it) since September 2015, i also need to get in touch with Network Rail about the information signs
Anyway, here is the channel.

I stumbled across this crossing by complete accident.
https://www.google.com/maps/@52.4530031 ... 312!8i6656

North Camp Railway Station. (Captured 2 times by GSV!)
https://www.google.com/maps/@51.2759503 ... 56!6m1!1e1
The Google Car ran the lights, as can be seen here.
https://www.google.com/maps/@51.2759927 ... 56!6m1!1e1
And here!
https://www.google.com/maps/@51.2759889 ... 56!6m1!1e1

Portland Street: Southport.
(In no particular order)

https://www.google.com/maps/@53.6414951 ... 56!6m1!1e1
https://www.google.com/maps/@53.6407902 ... 56!6m1!1e1
https://www.google.com/maps/@53.6413712 ... 56!6m1!1e1
Fun Fact: The incandescent wigwags were manufactured by National Railway Supplies! (They were replaced by Unipart Rail wigwags in 2014 IIRC)
The yodalarms here are really tired and worn out, here is what i mean.
