More strange crossings in Mexico.

[ToledoRailfan]

I decided to find some more crossings on Google Streetview in Mexico.
------
These are strange cantilever signals with strange lights. No crossbucks.

--------------
Another one. https://www.google.com/maps/@29.0299661 ... 6656?hl=en
--------------
The lights are Blearily pointing toward the road! And the crossbucks are pointed toward the crossing instead of away from the crossing.

https://www.google.com/maps/@29.0305853 ... 6656?hl=en

But the crossing has a pair of US&S E-Bells. Looks like they planned on adding gates here too. https://www.google.com/maps/@29.0305825 ... 6656?hl=en
--------------
Looks like there used to me more tracks here but were too lazy too move the crossbuck. https://www.google.com/maps/@29.0264607 ... 6656?hl=en
--------------
How did that get there? https://www.google.com/maps/@29.0864189 ... 6656?hl=en
--------------
These people would be caught if this was in the United States. https://www.google.com/maps/@29.1027284 ... 6656?hl=en
--------------
Why is there a crossbuck here? https://www.google.com/maps/@29.136681, ... 6656?hl=en

Actually it had gates in the past... https://www.google.com/maps/@29.0305738 ... 6656?hl=en.

If I had to venture a guess, the gates probably kept getting broke, so instead of having to fix them all the time they just removed them. Or, it is also quite possible with that crossing out in the middle of nowhere like that, the gate motors were stolen.

One signal wonder. https://www.google.com/maps/@20.6228544 ... 6656?hl=en

Strange gates. https://www.google.com/maps/@20.7154957 ... 6656?hl=en
-----
Gated signal without lights. This crossing is also another one signal wonder. https://www.google.com/maps/@20.7282541 ... 6656?hl=en
-----
I think there is enough stop signs here. https://www.google.com/maps/@20.7308476 ... 6656?hl=en
-----
That light is pointing away from the road. https://www.google.com/maps/@20.7308476 ... 6656?hl=en
-----
This is just weird. https://www.google.com/maps/@20.7309816 ... 6656?hl=en
-----
This crossbuck has not aged well. https://www.google.com/maps/@20.7436079 ... 6656?hl=en
-----
Ummmmm..... https://www.google.com/maps/@20.7321069 ... 6656?hl=en
-----
Broken gate. https://www.google.com/maps/@20.8363942 ... 6656?hl=en
-----
Not crossing related. These are strange box cars. https://www.google.com/maps/@20.8723788 ... 6656?hl=en
-----
This is also not crossing related but I can't believe google streetview did not blur out this poor horse. https://www.google.com/maps/@21.2361262 ... 6656?hl=en

There was another signal there, but it got knocked down:
https://www.google.com/maps/@20.6228544 ... 6656?hl=en
Also, back in 2009, the crossing just had a pair of crossbucks:
https://www.google.com/maps/@20.6228544 ... 6656?hl=en
It also looks like there were gates there at one time.

Gated signal without lights. This crossing is also another one signal wonder. https://www.google.com/maps/@20.7282541 ... 6656?hl=en

I'm pretty sure that signal didn't work:
https://www.google.com/maps/@20.7282541 ... 6656?hl=en
Also, the signal has since been replaced:
https://www.google.com/maps/@20.7279282 ... 6656?hl=en
And the bell on the gated signal had been hit by June of 2013:
https://www.google.com/maps/@20.7279101 ... 6656?hl=en
And then the gate was removed by August of 2014, though the gate mech still remained:
https://www.google.com/maps/@20.7279371 ... 6656?hl=en
A little bit more from the gate mech was gone a few months later:
https://www.google.com/maps/@20.7279257 ... 6656?hl=en
And here are the new signals in the process of being installed:

Looks like that signal used to have lights. I'm surprised I did not notice that. https://www.google.com/maps/@20.7282541 ... 6656?hl=en

I remember a while back, I was searching a line somewhere in Mexico when I came across a gated crossing without lights. The crossing was very old. I think it was near Mexico City, I've tried a couple times to find it again but I failed each time.

This crossing is only guarded by a yellow diamond warning sign and a stop sign, the signs are in good condition though, credit where credit is due. https://www.google.com/maps/@19.9863099 ... 6656?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@19.9861926 ... 6656?hl=en
------------------------------------------------------
What is going on here? It looks like this guy is directing traffic and acting as a flagman (without a flag) at this crossing. https://www.google.com/maps/@20.5745597 ... 6656?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@20.5745798 ... 6656?hl=en

This does not look like a good setup. https://www.google.com/maps/@20.6809422 ... 6656?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@20.6809422 ... 6656?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@20.680862, ... 6656?hl=en

Nice SD70ACe and GE AC4400!: https://www.google.com/maps/@20.6816424 ... 6656?hl=en

Are these Mexican Police or military on the train? : https://www.google.com/maps/@20.6811014 ... 6656?hl=en

Totally off subject, but a Sam's Club and a Wal-Mart in Mexico. Who knew??

I don't think I've seen these types of crossbucks in Mexico before. https://www.google.com/maps/@22.1805059 ... 6656?hl=en

https://www.google.com/maps/@22.1805214 ... 6656?hl=en
---------------------------------
This crossing is actually in great condition for being in Mexico, both signals, the signage, and the lights are all in good condition! Great job Mexico! https://www.google.com/maps/@23.2180288 ... 6656?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@23.2180063 ... 6656?hl=en
---------------------------------
These crossbucks are on the wrong side of the road! At least they are in good condition though. https://www.google.com/maps/@23.4610088 ... 6656?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@23.4612547 ... 6656?hl=en
---------------------------------
This is off topic, looks like Google was having issues with their equipment. https://www.google.com/maps/@23.7172557 ... 6656?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@23.7172557 ... 6656?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@23.7172557 ... 6656?hl=en

What happened to this crossbuck!? https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mezqu ... abce?hl=en

Found this crossing just across the US border... it appears to be malfunctioning. The one light is on constantly as you "drive" through.
