Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Here's an interesting one; UP replaced one of the signals, but left not only the old relay case, but one of the old signal masts, as well.

GE B40-8W's are the best. Well, uh, maybe with some exceptions...?

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
I know there's a curve in the road, but are two signals so close together necessary?
Btw these are classic USSR-Era Lights

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Found more stuff in the past week.
I don't know why, but this just looks odd in my opinion.
https://www.google.com/maps/@27.5193032 ... 384!8i8192
New signals.
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1055875 ... 8192?hl=en
Very old crossing.

Why does everyone copy my signature?
OG signal collection signature, I think.
