Goshen, IN. This was a looonnnng train. 8 crossings total on Streetview occupied, 5 of these with signals!!

Gateless crossing and a Safetran hybrid: http://g.co/maps/hek5p

Gateless crossing next block down: http://g.co/maps/adg36

And the next: http://g.co/maps/rqaw8

And the next: http://g.co/maps/8e2hv (NOTE: Lex C lights!!)

Next 3 blocks are crossbucks only... but are occupied by the train. http://g.co/maps/39wpj, http://g.co/maps/sh88w and http://g.co/maps/5wgdy

The lights are active... if you go back to page 1 that was the original intent of this thread when it was started 23 months ago. Probably just about one of the longest threads on this forum!

Just found that. I'm surprised the signal is still standing!

EDIT:

Even more classic signals,

also, if you look closely at the dwarf signal near the bridge, the light is still on though the line is clearly abandoned:

If you spin around you can see a train sitting at the station.

Not just faded... a couple look to have been badly damaged.

I went back to that crossing, the backgrounds were just still faded.

Check out this generic crossing on the TP&W:

I can't tell if it's just malfunction or a slow train? I don't see headlights.

Cheers,
