N Henry St, Morristown, TN:

This is part of the NS Crescent Corridor. But look at that lashup.

Active crossing:
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.049271, ... er=1&hl=en
Pretty unique sign:
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.027241, ... er=1&hl=en
The whole crossing has a rather massive set-up:
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.027241, ... er=1&hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@36.212183, ... OJ7YKQ!2e0
Going back a good bit along the road, you can see the crossing deactivating for the train after it had passed:
https://www.google.com/maps/@36.213078, ... u_EOEw!2e0
And even farther back, you can see the engine going through the crossing:

That wasn't the only train they caught there either:Trainzmandude2012 wrote:N Henry St, Morristown, TN:

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Even the traffic lights at that intersection are a bit odd. Have never seen cantilevered lightheads mounted sideways and above the bar like like that.freebrickproductions wrote:Pretty unique sign:

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
So CSX replaced some Vader signals over in Decatur with... more Vader signals?

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Kind of a unique crossing: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.744554, ... !2e0?hl=en
This is kind odd, not only is this post unusually short for a stop sign-crossbuck combination, it also has a buckeye crossbuck: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.784047, ... !2e0?hl=en
And even more odd, the same crossing also has a full buckeye crossbuck setup with what looks like a stop sign attached to it, and looking at it closer, it maybe even a advanced warning sign!: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.784047, ... !2e0?hl=en
-----------------------------
Why is this here?: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.800235, ... !2e0?hl=en
Some other gated crossing have it too.
-----------------------------
These are two cool crossings, this is in a quite rural area so the buckeye crossbucks haven't been removed yet, not to mention the two old cabooses and the old switcher that are stored here: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.867704, ... !2e0?hl=en
-----------------------------
Some scenic crossings: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.88024,- ... !2e0?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@39.894695, ... !2e0?hl=en
-----------------------------
This is just weird: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.903085, ... !2e0?hl=en
-----------------------------
Odd setup, I love those incandescent traffic signals
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.912478, ... !2e0?hl=en
Replaced the word with what you were looking for. "Indecent traffic signals" implies something completely different.
-----------------------------
Another scenic crossing (as you can tell, that is a common reacquiring theme in my posts): https://www.google.com/maps/@39.929236, ... !2e0?hl=en
Fixed the link for ya.
-----------------------------
First time I've seen a sign like that,maybe this line use to be abandon?: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.916319, ... !2e0?hl=en
-----------------------------
Some nice old signals: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.925548, ... !2e0?hl=en
-----------------------------
Scenic crossing with old signals: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.936618, ... !2e0?hl=en

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Quite a few Safetran Type 1s along that line. That'd be a pretty neat line to have on the site.
They did that so drivers could see the lights around the utility pole there.ToledoRailfan wrote:This is just weird: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.903085, ... !2e0?hl=en

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
I thought it was unusual to see those Associated Signal Bell, I thought for a moment that I've never really seen to many crossings with them, but it did not come to my mind that they were rare.ZachL wrote:ToledoRailfan wrote:Kind of a unique crossing: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.744554, ... !2e0?hl=enToledoRailfan wrote:Why is this here?: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.800235, ... !2e0?hl=enDid you notice the bells on those crossings?ToledoRailfan wrote:This is just weird: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.903085, ... !2e0?hl=en
