I have yet to get any pictures sent to me, but even if I got pictures or the other two current site owners we just don't have the time right now to update the site.

I speak my mind, if you don't like that oh well. I'll have you fill out a hurt feelings report and submit that to my office.

Okay, I understand, I too have a lot of stuff to do right now which is why I haven't updated so much on here.

Nice video, if you saw the comment I left, I'm not trying to be mean but you need a tripod. I used to be shaky like you in some past videos too :LOL3: .

Here is another crossing on the local line in Huntsville:
Lily Flagg Dr.
Look at how they left the wire exposed, somebody could just literally cut the wire to it :Scared:.

You think you've seen it all, drive along a poor as dirt shortline, you'd be even more surprised at what crap they do for and with train detection and circuits! :cool:

I have made a map of railroad crossings around the Huntsville area:
https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=21 ... 9529&msa=0
The map is not 100% accurate.

I acctually have pictures of the detection cicuts for either the Whitesburg Dr. and Blanda Dr. crossings or Weatherly Dr. crossing.
I forget which one I took pictures of, might have been both.
They/Them for me, please.

OK... so about the 100% accurate part? For kicks and giggles, I zoomed in on the crossing below. The map says it has Harmon LED's and GS electronic bells. But if you go into StreetView... all I see are crossbucks.
