Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Those have been posted here before. That is pretty odd that that crossing only has pedestrian gates, I know there is a crossing somewhere in Northern New England that also has pedestrian gates without road gates but it's a different setup as it has just two mast signals and two pedestrian gates.MapsSurfer wrote:Very Interesting set of Crossings here, evidently they used to be equipped with A-Frame Barriers! https://www.google.com/maps/@40.5906429 ... 90P_pA!2e0 The Grade Crossing down the road has GRS-WRRS Gate Mechanisms working as pedestrian gates. https://www.google.com/maps/@40.5899984 ... 312!8i6656 How come this crossing has pedestrian gates, but no road gates?TheSignalMan2000 wrote:You ain't kidding.busman_49 wrote:Marion is a goldmine for older crossing signal equipment.

Here's an interesting old design (as of August 2013), but this one has a split crossbuck.

This crossing nearby has road gates even though it is on the same road.

Active crossing (There isn't a grade!)

Sadly, this crossing no longer exists.
