Probably one of the plains-states railroads that existed years ago. Years ago, many railroads used 45° crossbucks for crossbuck crossings, not just the L&N.
They/Them for me, please.

Just because a crossbuck is not at a 90-degree angle does not automatically make it a 45-degree crossbuck...

There's one at a private crossing along the CSX Indiana Sub (Ex-B&O), right in between Frichton and Wheatlnd, IN: https://youtu.be/UaSsYt-zbH8

There's actually two back to back on this pole.
