A/N Port St. Joe, FL Crossings

Post by PlyingKibbles89 » Wed Apr 24, 2019 6:26 pm

A lot of the crossings on the abandoned A/N railroad have had updates.
FL-71

Signal with bell knocked down!
New blue emergency info.
The gated crossings have bent/destroyed gates.
Proud owner of too many things.

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

Can't say I'm surprised about the damage to the signals with the hurricane that hit last year. Glad to see most of the buildings downtown are still standing at least though.

Also, the new ENS signage was something I had noticed when I was there last year, but didn't have any time to document it. Not sure if it was due to the crossings being on a state route, though it appears the AN had been working on restoring the line to service back to Port St. Joe, as they had been clearing out the overgrowth from the line along the OOS portion from at least Franklin to Hosfor. However, it appears that the overgrowth was coming back on the northern end of the OOS part where it had already been cleared out.

Also, outside of this building, the AN's shops don't look like they suffered too much damage:

Also did some looking at Panama City, and yea, I'm gonna need to re-document some of the crossings on the BAYL when I'm back down there in 2020. Got most of them documented last summer when I was down there, but I see many gates, signals, lights, and gate lights (and possibly even a few gate mechs) were replaced since I was down there. While I don't have many crossings on the site currently, this crossing for US 231 has had one of the cantilevers disappear:

Aside from new gate arms, the other half appears to be unchanged though:

While not on the site, this gate arm has somehow amazingly managed to survive the hurricane:

Looks like they still got some work to do though:

They/Them for me, please.
