Active crossing:
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... .9,,0,5.53
Active crossing. If you get closer to it, you can see them go around the gates:
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... -1.46&z=17
They were in the crossing when it started up:

Yet another one:

I don't see a train so I believe that this crossing is malfunctioning:

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Get closer to the crossing and you see a new gate mast. I bet the cantilevers are for a replacement crossing.LARDLOGO wrote:I don't like how they set up that signalcabman701 wrote:Haven't been able to find an active crossing for awhile, but found one today:

If you move forward and look at the cantilever, the lights are mounted off center. Kind of odd because they are normal on the opposite one.
Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
You may be right... but I'm thinking it was a gateless crossing for awhile (with just the cantilevers) and the gates were added at some point recently.

Union Pacific standard is/was to install the gates in-front of the cantilevers, Heck just look at the concrete base its all one big slab.
Also back in the late 80's early 90's UP started using Harmon for crossing equipment, with the exception of lights and cantilevers, it was short lived.

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.

Thanks for the correction Kight. Guess it's all in the details.
