Interesting how the roadway signal isn't on the other side of the sidewalk there...
Lets them get both the sidewalk and road with one gate. Tends to happen down here in the south a lot, I've noticed.
They/Them for me, please.

This bank in Clinchfield has an old signal on display outside, also, check out the logo of the bank next to the signal.

Very nice... especially because it is wired up and active! :Clap: I wonder if it flashes 24/7, of just when the bank is open?

I was looking around at the crossings in Daytona, FL as my family is thinking of going down there this summer, and I found this crossing just about to deactivate:
https://www.google.com/maps/@29.2026299 ... 312!8i6656

There's also a lot of old crossing equipment there too!

And here's another active crossing:

They/Them for me, please.

This crossing use to have both crossbucks on the same side of the road! At first I though that the road use to be a one-way road but it turns out that wasn't the case! :Blink:

Interesting that they upgraded the crossing to have signals, but not gates...

Some shortlines will do that. The HMCR only uses gate-less signals.
They/Them for me, please.
