Another view.
You're not seeing things. That really is the end of the line!
Going back the other way.

 

The reason why the line is so short in picture 11, is because this is a wye, and gets very, very little traffic.

Pictures 1-12 were taken on October 31, 2009.

The other signal that didn't have its paint finished is completed as well.
