Interesting. Those are the kind of stop signs you'd see at a rural all-way stop, especially if there isn't one for miles.ToledoRailfan wrote:Not too far from that crossing I found this crossing that use to have a strange large stop sign.freebrickproductions wrote:45° crossbucks in Ballston Lake, NY!

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Any idea why there's extra cantilevers on the right side of the road? Australians drive on the left of the road...

https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-37.918 ... 312!8i6656
Also, this crossbuck looks terribly faded.
https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-37.918 ... 312!8i6656
Mix of different types of cantilevers.

Also found this set of McK&H lights without the lights at the same crossing!

Another active crossing further up the line.

Now over to the USA...
Oops!

This crossing in Blackfoot, Idaho has no bells! It's also got this weird traffic wig wags for trucks.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Active crossing in Nashville, TN for an oncoming train:
https://www.google.com/maps/@36.1928529 ... 6656?hl=en
In the next shot, the train has passed, and the crossing is off:
https://www.google.com/maps/@36.1928404 ... 6656?hl=en
And then the crossing activates again, tail ring malfunction or a second train?
