A gateless signal still standing guard in an alley on the old Western Pacific with US&S 8" lights, SP style crossbuck, & WCH M-bell

2 Griswold style cantilevers still stand on the old WP.

Wow, very cool finds! Winterail will be next month and I'll be able to talk to the owner of railroadstuff.com and a another dealer to see if we could try and get a hold of those. Chances will be unlikely, but you'll never know if you know the right people with the right connections!

I found this abandoned crossing on Allerton Avenue in Southern San Francisco:

These HD Streetview pictures are pretty awesome. Zoom in on that signal and you can see the remnants of a light.

I noticed that when I found it too, neat! I'm sure it's been yanked off by now.

I think I found where another signal used to be:

I think we have seen those 2 cantilevers at one point... at least I have. Don't remember how long ago or if it was on this forum or not...

If you look down next to the "no u-turn" sign on the median that you start out looking at when you click the link, there are four bolts in the ground, that's what I was talking about.

Sorry if I sound mean...

Still an unusual place to place a crossing

No, you don't sound mean. And I do see what you are saying now. If you spin around to the left you can see a square where the other signal appeared to have been and also a small relay box. Not sure why they would have only removed 2 of the signals and left the other 2 cantilevers to rot away.

Also, you can see in the road where the tracks used to be (or at least it appears). In the one direction it looks as though they went into that parking lot, most likely to serve a factory or something to that effect. But it is really hard to tell where the tracks went on the other side of the road.

Very odd indeed!
