Yeah... they're trying to use them as sidelights, but mounted the bracket as if they were going to point them forward.freebrickproductions wrote:The old cantilever is cool, but those mast lights look straight up ugly with how close they are on the new one.
Check out what used to be there... bet that one signal used to be a wig wag: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.6040344 ... 1664?hl=enToledoRailfan wrote:Odd cantilevers and modern SORS signs outside of Michigan. https://www.google.com/maps/@39.6040354 ... 6656?hl=en
Wow, and that's on an NS line of all railways. I think it'd be CN to do that instead.busman_49 wrote:I don't think this was covered here before (at least, a search turned up zippo)...

Nice catch!Those have been up there for quite some time, too. I got a picture of the eastbound sign back in 2005.ZachL wrote:Wow, and that's on an NS line of all railways.

That's just wrong in so many ways.busman_49 wrote:At the risk of multiple posts (sorry guys), this is on property in Delaware next to one of their railroad buildings:

Yikes!
I don't think I've seen those types of crossbucks being used on a signal instead of being on their own. I'm surprised something like that would still be in use all the way into the 1980s.cabman701 wrote: Interesting photo from Pennsylvania in 1985, the tracks are sadly long gone: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.p ... 42&nseq=27
I remember coming across those a while back on Google Steetview. I don't think that I posted them here though. I remember a couple years ago, someone posted Canadian 2 track signs on an American crossing that I think was also in Ohio. I'd like to know the story on how those signs got there.busman_49 wrote:I don't think this was covered here before (at least, a search turned up zippo)...

This crossing is just down from the display crossing I posted earlier in Pinellas Park, Florida. I stopped and snapped a few pictures of it as I was out running errands Saturday morning. The third gate is actually for a driveway for the back entrance to a police station. It is the only crossing that I know of along this line that still has all 8 inch lights.freebrickproductions wrote:Here's a rather cool 8 inch crossing in Florida with three mechanical bells:
