Signals with 45 degree crossbucks.
Found these photos of signals with 45 degree crossbucks located somewhere in the California desert. These photographs were taken in 1970.

Re: Signals with 45 degree crossbucks.
I think that crossing has been posted before, as I know it appears to have narrow-gauge tracks and those weird bells on the signals. It was like for some industry or mine. Crossbucks have since been replaced.
They/Them for me, please.

Re: Signals with 45 degree crossbucks.
I thought these signals looked familiar, I suspected it could have been that crossing. Don't recall a post about the crossbucks though.freebrickproductions wrote:I think that crossing has been posted before, as I know it appears to have narrow-gauge tracks and those weird bells on the signals.

Re: Signals with 45 degree crossbucks.
I don't think any of us knew that the signals had 45° crossbucks, as street view shows standard 90° ones, IIRC.ToledoRailfan wrote:I thought these signals looked familiar, I suspected it could have been that crossing.

Pretty crazy that those signals use to be even more unique.freebrickproductions wrote:I don't think any of us knew that the signals had 45° crossbucks, as street view shows standard 90° ones, IIRC.ToledoRailfan wrote:I thought these signals looked familiar, I suspected it could have been that crossing.

I thought you mean't signals and crossbuck crossings.
Re: Signals with 45 degree crossbucks.
Coincidentally... my grandma lived 3 blocks from that location! Spent many summers when I was kid riding my bike in that area. I heard recently those tracks have been removed. Not sure about the status of the signals along that line. Many of them had fallen into disrepair.NathanFromEngland wrote:freebrickproductions wrote:NathanFromEngland wrote:One on an abandoned BNSF line in Canton, IL.

Looks like an interesting line. It would be a bummer if its gone.cabman701 wrote:Coincidentally... my grandma lived 3 blocks from that location!
