Google Maps Scavenger Hunt

Yep. I clicked the link on that crossing and found that. Been that way around 2007-2014 or so.,

Least google caught it in action though. Even if the crossing is already on the site.

Yah

Speaking of active crossings, I found some in Kansas City that google caught active. This one is located on a kcs line at 12th st #2 crossing.

Another active crossing in the same are, except this crossing is on a UP line at Crystal Ave ( which used to be the Truman Rd crossing before they built that bridge over this crossing),

And lastly, at this double crossing I really want to film at. 39th st in Kansas City, MO.

It could be just a misprint on the rear-crossbuck. There is a chance that the crossbuck facing forward is normal, since I've seen a crossing on site somewhere (I think in Illinois, IIRC) that has one of the sides misprinted on the rear, but is normal on the front, but it could also be misprinted on the front too. I've seen this case with a double sided, wrong installed crossbuck also on the site in Illinois.

I've seen one like that before as well, but I just found it amusing.

Active crossing in Glenmary, TN:

Of course, the Google driver goes around the gates.

Based on what I could make out, I believe this is some kind of railroad work vehicle that's just ahead from the crossing.

Active quad gates in CA

crossing looks familiar. Oh wait I remember this crossing being on the site. Sad to see that UP replaced the old griswold em signals with newer gate mechs, and e bells.

Unfortunately as gate mechanisms age, they can break down or gradually become non-compliant with FRA regulations.

Looks like that may have been a malfunction, as I don't see a signal maintainer there and there doesn't appear to have been a train anywhere nearby.

Quite an unusual signal in Roswell, Georgia.

Now even weirder.
