Another crossing near a tornado siren:
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... 87,,0,1.07
Is it just me or is this e-bell the same color as the siren: :Tongue2:
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... 24,,2,3.27

Interesting:
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... .61,,0,0.2

Active crossing:
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... 43,,0,7.61
If you move away from the crossing, you can see the gates descend.

Interesting signal:

They/Them for me, please.

And all those crossings are in my hometown. I actually posted a few of the active ones a few weeks ago since GSV updated their pictures this past summer. The one you posted next to the tornado siren is only about 6 blocks from my house.

And the "interesting" crossing is 2 blocks from where I work. The 6 story white building directly in the middle of the screen: http://goo.gl/maps/sF4W3

Found a signal in a small California town with "A" gates :TUP1:

EDIT: Whoops, I had no idea this crossing was on the site when I first found it (out of random) :Blush2:
