Owensboro, KY:

This bell has fallen off!
https://www.google.com/maps/@37.7984313 ... 312!8i6656
Also, as a bit of good news, this line was put back into service and the bell was put back into place!

Orlando, Florida.

Split tracks, although piled on, must be easy for scrap metal thieves to get to i suppose.

Old CSX dot tags are still visible however, but all photos from streetview (2007-2018) show no crossbucks.

Nice find! I wonder if any of the semaphores are still standing today. Too bad Google doesn't have a good view of the tracks. :Sad:

Based on the replacement signals around several of them, probably not.

Another crossbuck crossing.
https://www.google.com/maps/@46.825714, ... 312!8i6656

Faint view of ties and some rails
https://www.google.com/maps/@46.8427897 ... 312!8i6656
https://www.google.com/maps/@46.8427897 ... 312!8i6656

WRRS signal and non-functional relay case.
https://www.google.com/maps/@46.8454481 ... 312!8i6656

The lone crossbuck here is supiciously new.
https://www.google.com/maps/@46.8531332 ... 312!8i6656

GRS relay case!
https://www.google.com/maps/@46.8595181 ... 312!8i6656

As for the signals, i assume they are GRS, but one of the lights were replaced with Safetran 8 inch lights in around the 1980s.
https://www.google.com/maps/@46.8594367 ... 312!8i6656

Another suspciously new crossbuck.
https://www.google.com/maps/@46.8781658 ... 312!8i6656

A crossing that has been resurfaced over, but the tracks are visible from either end.
https://www.google.com/maps/@46.9076421 ... 312!8i6656
https://www.google.com/maps/@46.9076473 ... 312!8i6656
https://www.google.com/maps/@46.9076473 ... 312!8i6656

45 degree crossbuck! But it has seen some better days.
https://www.google.com/maps/@46.9117498 ... 312!8i6656

A crossing that has already been removed.
https://www.google.com/maps/@46.9133124 ... 312!8i6656
Tracks on the other side are slightly visible.
https://www.google.com/maps/@46.9133649 ... 312!8i6656

Is that a Christmas tree growing on the tracks?
https://www.google.com/maps/@46.92569,- ... 312!8i6656

More visible rail.
https://www.google.com/maps/@46.92569,- ... 312!8i6656

All that remains at this crossing is an out of service relay case, and a crossbuck.
https://www.google.com/maps/@46.9302259 ... 312!8i6656

A bunch of crossbuck crossings at the Loring Commerce Center area.
https://www.google.com/maps/@46.9330583 ... 312!8i6656
https://www.google.com/maps/@46.9329587 ... 312!8i6656

https://www.google.com/maps/@46.9298292 ... 312!8i6656

This spur must've served a mill...
