Used whenever Union Pacific runs to Alturas to interchange with the Goose Lake Railway, which happens weekly from what I've heard.freebrickproductions wrote: ↑Wed Jun 15, 2022 10:41 pmOh wow, excellent find! Still in service, I take it?

Gotta be an old C&O one, likely the third known to still be in service if it's still there. Satellite imagery is hard to tell, but it might be?ProFoamingBishop wrote: ↑Sun Feb 05, 2023 9:57 pmlike charles city rd, this teardrop has survived the unthinkable. i dont know if its still there though

Came across this new video of a neat old cantilever crossing with a teardrop on the Wheeling & Lake Erie in Creston, Ohio. The W&LE train clears at just the right time to reveal a CSX train at the other crossing behind.
The other side has a Safetran mechanical bell which ironically would seem to be dead, while the teardrop works.

Glad to see that classic's still there! And yea, the Safetran bell on the other signal's been dead for years.

The same user also recently uploaded a few more videos of that crossing.
