12" LEX-C's are common in Alaska. Plus I wanna say that's been posted here too. :Tongue1:

They seem to be getting rarer up there though, as the Alaskan Railroad has been upgrading stuff to LEDs.
They/Them for me, please.

It certainly appears so. Here's a crossing in Anchorage that still retains a couple of pairs though:

Ah yes, my favorite railroad lights!

Let's start with my hometown of Orrville, Ohio...
Main Street, by the Smucker's plant:
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.8468937 ... 312!8i6656
the signal for the opposing side used to have them back in the day, but they've been replaced. GSV still shows one on the mast, but IIRC, it's gone now. The gate used to be taller, too

On the same line, a little further southwest:

https://www.google.com/maps/@40.8435045 ... 312!8i6656 (the back lights were once Lex-Cs)

Crown Hill Rd:
I'm bending the rules on this one, since the lights have been replaced, but I barely remember when this was a crossbuck-only setup.

The lights on the opposing signal were also Lex-Cs but they were replaced sometime between 2009 and 2011.

Those signals are surely being taken care of! Lots of rust used to exist on them:
