Looks like they re-used some old poles for route shields for these crossbucks:

EXCEPT... this one here DOES look kinda cool. I might've put the crossbuck on the left though.

That IS neat! A lot going on there for sure.

Actually, they do:

Though it is possible that they weren't re-used.

Sorry, that "No Way" graphic was supposed to mean that I don't like it. Could've used the thumbs-down guy I guess

I never cared for those things on highway signs & they look even worse for railroad signs. Just my

Oh, lol. I personally don't mind them, but I do agree that they look ugly as a crossbuck install. However, the one that does use the yield sign isn't too bad of an idea, I suppose.

Odd ped gates:
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.4195936 ... !2e0?hl=en

That is cool that they took advantage of having fencing around the sidewalk by adding those gates.

This is an odd setup. I don't know how it works, but if I had to take a guess. I would say that it acts like a double crossing but with three signals. https://www.google.com/maps/@39.6030994 ... 6656?hl=en

This is something you don't see everyday. There is an intermodal yard near this crossing which is why there are a lot of tracks here. The intermodal yard is not really visible from the crossing, so this crossing basically just looks like your average rural northwest Ohio crossing but with four tracks. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.1899995 ... 6656?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@41.1903865 ... 6656?hl=en

The stains on this track make it look a bit like Markin 3-Rail HO track. https://www.google.com/maps/@44.6380896 ... 6656?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@44.6380896 ... 6656?hl=en

This thing kind of look like a buckeye crossbuck yield sign. https://www.google.com/maps/@43.5148781 ... 6656?hl=en

Odd placement of the crossubucks. https://www.google.com/maps/@42.5520712 ... 6656?hl=en

What in the world, CSX?

BTW, this replaced a mechanical bell which was on top of the signal:


Also, check this out:
2007, this crossing had three 8 inch signals, one gate mech, and a GS e-bell:
https://www.google.com/maps/@38.2555399 ... 328!8i1664
2011, e-bell is replaced with a WCH m-bell:
https://www.google.com/maps/@38.2555396 ... 312!8i6656
2014, the 8 inch lights facing the flow of traffic are replaced by 12x24 LED lights:
https://www.google.com/maps/@38.2555396 ... 312!8i6656
2015, crossing gets a complete overhaul:

Looks like that cantilever signal is titling a bit.
