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!

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
This crossing has three signals with 8 inch lights and WABCO triangle gates!
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!
https://www.google.com/maps/@37.476544, ... 312!8i6656
Nice old 8 inch cantilevers:

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
This crossing in Wongawilli, NSW has a Westinghouse Teardrop.
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.

Metro, why do you keep removing Mechanical bells?!

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
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

Looks like it could be coming down normal right here: https://www.google.com/maps/@35.1283169 ... 312!8i6656ToledoRailfan wrote: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

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
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.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
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/@35.5345472 ... 6656?hl=en
Well there is this thing.

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