That happens to me quite often. Someone (or me) finds something interesting in Ohio, and it turns out to be on the other side of the state.freebrickproductions wrote:Of course that has to be on the other end of the state from me...ToledoRailfan wrote:Full normal signals on the Wales West Light Railway. Pretty cool seeing full normal signals (I don't know what else to call them) being used on a railroad crossing at a park/museum/resort environment.

This crossing has just a crossbuck.

There is also a little miniature 7.5 inch gauge railroad there. I wonder if the signals activate for it?

Re: Miniature Crossing Signals
This crossing on the miniature railroad at the Centreville Amusement Park in Toronto is protected by a Miniature Train Company signal, it could also be a Chance Rides signal as I think they bought Miniature Train Company.

There are several other crossings with no signals or signage. I don't feel like posting those here.

Burke Junction, Cameron Park, California.
Interesting how they have extra crossing lights on the light posts!

Re: Miniature Crossing Signals
The crossing lights on the lamp posts are likely leftover from before the miniature signals were put in. I do wonder if they still function though, especially because the crossbucks have since been removed.ToledoRailfan wrote:Burke Junction, Cameron Park, California.

Here is a signalized crossing. There are two signals due to the road being one-way.

This crossing has a gate-less signal!

Some or all of the signalized crossings use to have just the crossbucks and stop signs. But I'm too lazy to post the streetviews of them here. I think these are enough.
(Note, this one was done on my cell phone instead of my camcorder because the battery in my camcorder died on me)

Re: Miniature Crossing Signals
Whiskey River Railway at the Little-A-Merrick-A theme park in Marshall, WI has quite a few miniature signals.
Riverside and Great Northern Railway in Wisconsin Dells has several as well:
...including a wigwag! (not my video)
The 600mm (2') gauge Rock River Cannonball at Thresherman's Park in Edgerton has numerous crossings of the unpaved park roads, but the only active warning device at any of them is a manually activated WRRS bell at the crossing by the boarding station.

Re: Miniature Crossing Signals
Full signals protecting a crossing at the entrance to the Northeastern Ohio Live Steamers in Medina, Ohio. Looks like there is a wigwag there!
