Different crossings with old signals.
I wonder how long these have been around.

Re: Different crossings with old signals.
That's a cool old industrial area with lots of spur tracks twisting and winding everywhere. One of those places it'd be fun to explore, but you wouldn't really expect to find a train. However...

Re: Different crossings with old signals.
If I had to fathom a guess, I'd say judging by the lack of sidewalk in front of the signal, and no curb that perhaps when the signal was originally installed there was a driveway approach immediately in front of the signal. That fencing there looks relatively new... and there is still quite a bit of gravel present there peaking through the grass. Perhaps they just put the fence up and let the driveway just get taken back by nature - and nobody bothered to construct a proper curb or complete the sidewalk to the railway approach.
Well,

Re: Different crossings with old signals.
Looks like they could well be CSX MP15s. I'm surprised that's a Class I though, but hey...

Re: Different crossings with old signals.
Found a Federal Signal/Western Cullen Division 8 inch crossing with a 12 inch mast signal:
https://www.google.com/maps?ll=38.23399 ... 0,1.4&z=21
It appears that the mast signal at that crossing has two pairs of FS 12 inch lights or WCH 12 inch lights. Can't really tell though:
https://www.google.com/maps?ll=38.23404 ... -1.84&z=21
This one has a mix of WCH and FS 8 inch lights:

I'll have to make a Trainz route out of this.
