Re: Tracks out of service
Milwaukee, Wisconsin... this set of tracks used to cross the Milwaukee river. The swing bridge over the river is still there too... but hasn't seen a train since 2003. https://www.google.com/maps/@43.028594, ... 312!8i6656
Other side of the river: https://www.google.com/maps/@43.0272892 ... 312!8i6656

Re: Tracks out of service
Yeah... me too. And except for the one light on the mast only crossing, they have held up pretty well these last 13 years. I was thinking they had removed the relay box for that crossing until I finally spotted it.freebrickproductions wrote:Wow!

Re: Tracks out of service
Abandoned light-rail tracks that were taken out of service when a new line opened that smoothened out this curve in 2010:

The relay case was still there in 2011:
https://www.google.com/maps/@38.6044158 ... 312!8i6656
The signals back in 2007 with some signal maintenance going on:
https://www.google.com/maps/@38.6045773 ... 328!8i1664
It appears that the signals were re-installed at this crossing on the newer line, which also has signal maintenance going on!
https://www.google.com/maps/@38.6049836 ... 312!8i6656
The other crossing:

Back when it had signals in 2007:

Re: Tracks out of service
And even with the tracks there obviously out of service, they replaced the crossbuck between 2011 and 2014 anyways.freebrickproductions wrote:Chattanooga, TN again:

Re: Tracks out of service
Pretty cool that they used advance warning signs for the pedestrian crossings, and that is not mentioning how the advance warning signs themselves are interesting. https://www.google.com/maps/@35.0846458 ... 6656?hl=enZachL wrote:And even with the tracks there obviously out of service, they replaced the crossbuck between 2011 and 2014 anyways.freebrickproductions wrote:Chattanooga, TN again:

It might be "Out of Service" but not quite abandoned.ToledoRailfan wrote:Pretty cool that they used advance warning signs for the pedestrian crossings, and that is not mentioning how the advance warning signs themselves are interesting. https://www.google.com/maps/@35.0846458 ... 6656?hl=enZachL wrote:And even with the tracks there obviously out of service, they replaced the crossbuck between 2011 and 2014 anyways.freebrickproductions wrote:Chattanooga, TN again:

Re: Tracks out of service
Found an out of service crossing in Gawler Belt, South Australia. (The track looks fairly overgrown too)
https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-34.586 ... 312!8i6656

https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-34.586 ... 312!8i6656
Just further up the line, this crossing has "RAILWAY CROSSING NOT IN USE" signs. (One side of the crossing has it stuck over the "STOP ON RED SIGNAL" sign.)

Another abandoned crossing.
https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-34.567 ... 312!8i6656
One of the signs at this crossing is pretty far away from the tracks.
https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-34.533 ... 312!8i6656
Back when it still had the regular passive crossing signs.
