Classic crossing with GRS Lex-C lights in Conway, NH:
https://www.google.com/maps/@43.9787161 ... 312!8i6656
A recent video shows that some of the lights have been replaced with 12x20s, but the Lex-C sidelights on the signal with the bell still remain! :TUP1:
They/Them for me, please.

And the lights are mix-matched as well.

This crossing has three signals with 8 inch lights and WABCO triangle gates! :Drool:
https://www.google.com/maps/@37.4778911 ... 312!8i6656

Same with this crossing! Only that it just has two signals:
https://www.google.com/maps/@37.4767745 ... 312!8i6656
Also, there are some out of service searchlight signals next to this crossing, which means that this branch line was likely originally a main line:

This line is chock full of triangle gates and 8 inch lights!

Nice old 8 inch cantilevers:

This crossing in Wongawilli, NSW has a Westinghouse Teardrop. :TUP1:
https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-34.478 ... 312!8i6656
I know this because McK&H Aust has just posted a video of this crossing, and you can clearly see the Westinghouse logo on the bell.

Looks like it could be some strange preemption setup of some sort, I'm not sure what purpose it would serve though. https://www.google.com/maps/@35.1281954 ... 312!8i6656

This crossing at Poath Road in Hughesdale had the lantern lights on top of the gate rather than below the gate like most other crossings with A-gates in Australia.

https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-37.894 ... 328!8i1664

Sadly sometime between 2012 & 2013, the lights were moved to the typical below the gate position. :OhWell:

Classic cantilever signals with inverted SORS signs and "1 track" signs! The SORS are also kind of in weird places. https://www.google.com/maps/@45.9610021 ... 1664?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@45.9607396 ... 1664?hl=en
---------------------
Eight tracks.... and there is no signage!
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.5339921 ... 6656?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.5345472 ... 6656?hl=en

Well there is this thing.

Wow, this crossbuck is very faded! https://www.google.com/maps/@51.2345211 ... 6656?hl=en
