Looks like an access road for CSX. I'm sure they're not worried about the lights.cabman701 wrote:You need to remove the "s" at the beginning of the link. But to answer your question, the satellite image shows this crossing is in use now, looks like GSV caught it before the road was put in. https://www.google.com/maps/@33.5746462 ... a=!3m1!1e3ToledoRailfan wrote:Gated signals without light.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
I found this pedestrian tunnel in Milwaukee, WI. Interesting! I wonder what it sounds like in there when a train comes through?

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Looks like a GRS/WRRS cantilever that got shortened after it was installed. Something like one of these:ToledoRailfan wrote:Odd cantilever. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.1613698 ... 1664?hl=en
However, the signal appears to still be there!

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Here's an odd signal:

For those of you wondering how it'd look in action, it can be seen in action at 0:51 in this video:

And the next crossing over has a teardrop bell! https://www.google.com/maps/@41.1615151 ... 6656?hl=enfreebrickproductions wrote:However, the signal appears to still be there!ToledoRailfan wrote:Odd cantilever. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.1613698 ... 1664?hl=en

Here's a video of the teardrop crossing in action... and you can hear the first crossing's bell in this video too. This video also shows some sort of short in the gate lights on the signal on the far right. Watch the gate lights closely starting at about the 1 minute mark:

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
That is the first time I've seen a modern no left/right turn signal. I did not know that they were still being made. Kind of odd that they were alternating.freebrickproductions wrote:Here's an odd signal:
