I posted that here a while ago, pretty interesting operation they've got going at the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway.

A pair of those look-alike buckeye-crossbuck yield things (I don't know what to call it) that are used in Idaho managed to make they're way into Washington, kind of like that buckeye crossbuck setup that managed to make its way into Indiana.

In 2009, Google caught this crossing being worked on, I think it was active, it is kind of hard to tell.

And back in 2008 Google caught the crossing active with a train crossing over it.

Nice! I always enjoy railroad museums who preserve setups like that.

That is a common theme that I've noticed in the northwestern states, reminds me of the crossbucks in Boise that SirKrunch found: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2889&p=19203&hilit=buckeye#p19203

Interesting how the roadway signal isn't on the other side of the sidewalk there...
