Update for the S.300 W crossing in Marion, Indiana

Post by ToledoRailfan » Sun Jan 22, 2017 6:47 pm

Here is an update for the S.300 W crossing in Marion, Indiana (https://www.google.com/maps/@40.5220139 ... 6656?hl=en)

I was looking at the crossing on Google Earth and it appears that the signal is gone and has been replaced by regular signals. Kind of disappointing because it was weird and interesting and it was a reminder of the previous setup when the signal was a double wigwag.

Nowhere on that thread says that the whole signal is gone and has been replace by regular signals.

Whoops, I totally missed your satellite view link. My bad. :oops:

That signal looked ugly with regular lights on it anyways. :sleep:

I wonder if it was "just because" (to make it more of a standard crossing)... or maybe the old signal got knocked down? Would be interesting to see a Street View version now... but we may be waiting awhile for that.
