Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Interesting setup in San Jose, California:
https://www.google.com/maps/@37.3107536 ... 312!8i6656
This pedestrian signal with a gate has 8 inch LED lights. Also, not sure why the extra signal and gate for that driveway when all people can do there is turn right (away from the tracks).

8 inch LED's here too:

Here is a video of the crossing in operation. The gate for the driveway goes down on a delay:

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
The location of the bells being above the lights is actually starting to become common. I'm assuming that it's louder down there.freebrickproductions wrote:Odd locations for the bells:cabman701 wrote:Interesting setup in San Jose, California:

Hamilton, Illinois:
- A set of 8 inch lights being used to tell the engineer the signals are operating. Appears to still have their red lenses as well.
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.3866738 ... 312!8i6656 - Why take down the old crossbucks when you put up the new ones?

https://www.google.com/maps/@40.3881104 ... 312!8i6656
- Not a very clear picture... but look what I found here!
https://www.google.com/maps/@37.5641052 ... 328!8i1664 - The signal on the other side is this short little mast signal:

Looks almost like an 8 inch version of this signal at 32nd Street in Birmingham, AL:cabman701 wrote:

Yes... I thought the same thing! I thought the one in Birmingham was "home made" but it appears not.freebrickproductions wrote:Looks almost like an 8 inch version of this signal at 32nd Street in Birmingham, AL.
