Here's a pair in San Rafael, CA, on the NWP:
https://maps.google.com/?ll=38.01851,-1 ... 6,,0,-3.92

Also, a couple more RIGHT NEXT TO San Rafael station:
https://maps.google.com/?ll=37.972471,- ... 5,,0,-1.58

Unfortunately, their days are probably numbered, as SMART is currently upgrading this line.
These have now been removed :OhWell:
https://www.google.com/maps/@38.0186164 ... 384!8i8192

(Also I have updated the map I posted earlier)
At least the line is back alive. :TUP2: Though it is sad to see all of that classic equipment go.
They/Them for me, please.

Is that the line that goes through Santa Rosa? I remember that line had a lot of LED lights that with heads that were somehow rusting over.

Here's one I just stumbled across at Mill Street in Danville, PA, while looking for the crossing with just one gate arm I found once:
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.9635526 ... 312!8i6656
(Still haven't found that other crossing yet though.)

EDIT: Looks like all of the ped gates at this crossing on Market Street in Lewisburg, PA, are wooden as well:

They/Them for me, please.

Personally didn't notice any damage to them, but it's likely due to them being on shortlines.

I noticed it immediately just from looking at the gate holders.

They look pretty standard to me. Also, just noticed these two ped gates at the first one are wooden as well:

There’s a wishbone gate at the Museum of Transportation in Kirkwood, MO
You’ll want to make sure your satellite view is on
Proud owner of a Safetran 3rd Gen M-Bell, a GS Type 2 bell, a dead GS type 1 bell, a WRRS M-bell, and a US&S H-2 searchlight signal.
Why does everyone copy my signature?

OG signal collection signature, I think. :LOL2:
