Currently exsiting locations of awkward crossing installs

Post by NSrailfan4life »

Found a couple of them in Ashland Va.

https://www.google.com/maps?q=Myrtle+St ... 52,,0,-9.5

https://www.google.com/maps?q=Myrtle+St ... ,,1,-20.15

https://www.google.com/maps?q=Myrtle+St ... ,,0,-10.51

A very strange one in Niagra Falls, NY using traffic signal sections.

This one is not strange, but I felt like it was a unusual location for apartment complex entrance to have signals.

Seriously? A rope holding up the real crossing signal?

Another weird install outside of Norfolk VA, near a Norfolk Southern intermodal yard.

It ain't so weird, but kind of.
