Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Here's an active crossing in Florida:
https://www.google.com/maps/@27.894549, ... 312!8i6656
https://www.google.com/maps/@27.8945491 ... 312!8i6656
Looks like there was some signal maintenance going on at the time, because here's the maintainer:
https://www.google.com/maps/@27.8945469 ... 312!8i6656
What are the side-lights here supposed to face?
https://www.google.com/maps/@27.8984611 ... 312!8i6656
This crossing appears to have some RACO 12x20 inch lights at it!

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
This is not something you see everyday for a Railroad crossing. https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7229147 ... 6656?hl=en
----------------------
This railroad crossing is completely controlled by traffic signals. If this railroad crossing was used by light rail instead of streetcars, there probably would be crossing signals here. https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7226117 ... 6656?hl=en
----------------------
Kind of an odd setup. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.0945552 ... 1664?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@41.0952974 ... 1664?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@41.0952974 ... 1664?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@41.0957587 ... 1664?hl=en
----------------------
Active crossing, Republic, Ohio. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.1197364 ... 1664?hl=en

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
That crossing was part of the most recent update, IIRC.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
I noticed that after I made the post and was looking through the pages part of the update. Kind of a strange coincidence especially considering this crossing is in the middle of nowhere.freebrickproductions wrote:That crossing was part of the most recent update, IIRC.

Wigwag and other vintage crossing signal at a light rail yard in Sacramento.

Active Crossing, Cleveland, Ohio. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.4999756 ... 6656?hl=en
Odd place to see an inverted "SORS" sign. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.4999756 ... 6656?hl=en
This just weird. This crossing use to be gate-less in 2009. Why would there be an inverted "SORS" sign on a modern gate mast?

That crossing has actually been posted here already: http://www.rxrsignals.net/Phpbb3/viewto ... =30#p19058ToledoRailfan wrote:Active Crossing, Cleveland, Ohio. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.4999756 ... 6656?hl=en

And as for the inverted SORS sign, it's just possibly reuse by the railroad.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
It worked! Got rid of that image, plus that project has been disbanded anyways, to busy with other things, and in the middle of finishing the gate signals for trainz anyways.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Here are my finds that I found while the forum was down.
Modern less than 90 degrees two piece crossbuck! https://www.google.com/maps/@40.3582625 ... 6656?hl=en
---------------------------------------------------------
This crossbuck looks very strange. https://www.google.com/maps/@40.3604031 ... 6656?hl=en
---------------------------------------------------------
This is a unique setup. https://www.google.com/maps/@40.3862653 ... 6656?hl=en
There is a cool bridge right next to it too. https://www.google.com/maps/@40.3861499 ... 6656?hl=en
---------------------------------------------------------
I’ve never seen a crossing relay cabinet this far off the ground. https://www.google.com/maps/@40.385624, ... 6656?hl=en
---------------------------------------------------------
Active crossing, Fort Madison, Iowa.
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6232462 ... 6656?hl=en
---------------------------------------------------------
Very old signals! https://www.google.com/maps/place/Intre ... !1e1?hl=en
---------------------------------------------------------
This is not a place I would expect to see cantilever signals! https://www.google.com/maps/@40.3101654 ... 1664?hl=en

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
I remember seeing a picture of the signal with a bell somewhere online before. Can't remember where though, but I believe it was either a stock image or on RailPictures.ToledoRailfan wrote: Very old signals! https://www.google.com/maps/place/Intre ... !1e1?hl=en

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Found this odd crossing on the MNBR:
https://www.google.com/maps/@32.2638766 ... 6656?hl=en
I wonder why the railroad removed the overhead lights from those WRRS cantilevers...
A bit odd:
https://www.google.com/maps/@32.2073335 ... 6656?hl=en
Classic signals:
