Wayside horns in Alaska:
https://www.google.com/maps/@61.1857346 ... 312!8i6656

It looks like this crossing is equipped for horns also, but I'm not finding the actual horns. Notice though it does have 12 inch Lex-C's... quite common in Alaska.
https://www.google.com/maps/@61.1880544 ... 312!8i6656

This one has both wayside horns and 12 inch Lex-C's!
https://www.google.com/maps/@61.1807195 ... 312!8i6656

Guess they thought one set of side lights wasn't enough. Notice this crossing has stand alone crossbucks as well for some reason on the main road.
https://www.google.com/maps/@61.1652698 ... 312!8i6656

Here's another crossing with the equipment for wayside horns (the flashing X's)... but don't see any horns.

Found these 2 crossings adjacent to a park in California... both with triangle gates!
https://www.google.com/maps/@38.5647933 ... 6656?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@38.567916, ... 6656?hl=en

They look like they are well taken care of! You can see one of the crossings deactivating down the tracks in this picture:

Ha Ha... I should have known. :Tongue1:

On the plus side... at least there is proof that they are still seeing use.
