That's probably because of the building right there. Still pretty unique though.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Some nice old cantilever signals with some nice 8'' lights. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.794197, ... 6656?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@41.793805, ... 6656?hl=en
-----------------------------------------------------
Hmmm, that looks like a good place to setup my tri-pod. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.842478, ... 6656?hl=en
Never mind!

This is not a good place for a Stop sign, someone could stop and could be hit by a train. I think the stop sign on the crossbuck post is the only one necessary here. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.931158, ... 6656?hl=en
Well I think this is the first time I've seen a crossbuck-stop sign combination this close to an intersection. Usually a crossing like this would only have one crossbuck-stop combination facing away from the intersection and just a regular crossbuck facing the intersection. A crossbuck-yield sign combination facing the intersection could also work here as well. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.931112, ... 6656?hl=en
-----------------------------------------------------
This signal has no front or rear lights. https://www.google.com/maps/@42.193274, ... 6656?hl=en
-----------------------------------------------------
This is kind of odd. https://www.google.com/maps/@42.200992, ... 6656?hl=en

Cool little pedestrian crossing. https://www.google.com/maps/@42.204606, ... 1664?hl=en

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Interesting how the bells are both above the road-way. You don't see that too often.ToledoRailfan wrote:Some nice old cantilever signals with some nice 8'' lights. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.794197, ... 6656?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@41.793805, ... 6656?hl=en
I have to wonder if they are RACO or Griswold bells.
It actually does have rear lights. They are the pair of lights facing towards the camera in this view:ToledoRailfan wrote: This signal has no front or rear lights. https://www.google.com/maps/@42.193274, ... 6656?hl=en

It doesn't have front lights due to the intersection probably being just a 3-way intersection when it was installed. Certainly unique though. I also wonder if the mechanical bell at that crossing is a RACO or a Griswold.
They/Them for me, please.

I thought that was another pair of side lights because of how it was aimed.
Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
I don't see it either... unless it is just the grouping of the cantilever, the telephone pole, and traffic light cantilever all together there.ZachL wrote:Not sure if I see what's so odd right there.ToledoRailfan wrote:This is kind of odd. https://www.google.com/maps/@42.200992, ... 6656?hl=en
