Re: Currently exsiting locations of awkward crossing install
What about this one in Dallas , seems pretty weird to have it here.

And somehow, the other side of the crossing is unprotected with no signals!

Re: Currently exsiting locations of awkward crossing install
Based on the condition of the signal, I bet that the crossing is lightly used and the signal isn't used any more. Note the crossbuck.
They/Them for me, please.

Well the actual museum is a couple blocks down in Fair Park right beside downtown Dallas. I have been there before, and its awesome! Now those tracks you where looking at in the link are miles of abandoned track that the museum purchased for their own use, to put the rest of their rolling stock and locos on it. Now later on this year, the rest of the moving of all these locos will be moved to a brand new railroad museum being opened in Frisco Texas, a town aprox 20 miles from Dallas. If you go east of the museum, other abandoned tracks will show up, going for miles! It actually takes you to the signal discussed in one of my previous topics.ToledoRailfan wrote:you know the name of that Museum? I tried looking for it but I could not find it.

The museum has rare locos like the UP centennial, AKA DD40AX, and a Santa Fe F7A!

Re: Currently exsiting locations of awkward crossing install
And what do we have here, probably the most akward thing I have ever seen before. This signal is right outside of Downtown Jacksonville FL. to the east.
