However some great(and at that point enormous) things must come to an end:

Here's a pretty long set in North Carolina: https://www.google.com/maps/@35.116942, ... !2e0?hl=en

Both gates have pogo sticks. And obviously the lights and bells have been updated, but other than these signals have been here awhile it appears. The outer masts are the split type that we have talked about before... and the median masts are quite short.

Here is a picture of them in action which made me investigate: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.p ... 59&nseq=41

This is kind of off topic but this crossing (https://www.google.com/maps/@36.023211, ... !2e0?hl=en) is near the crossing you mentioned, the crossing near that crossing is on the site. http://www.rxrsignals.net/Tennessee/Dickson/Gas/

not as tall as some, but taller than most. I think it used to be taller at one point in its life.

Longer than the telephone pole next to it! :TUP2:
