A somewhat interesting railroad bridge setup, to cross both a street and a nearby creek. :huh:

Not quite the same situation right there, but here's something close to that in Tampa:

What about one that crosses a creek (on the left in the trees), an interstate, and a street? :Smile:

Or a street and another rail line...

Thanks to a HUGE accident on Interstate 24 the day after Christmas... I took a detour and got to go under that bridge on my way home from Illinois! I also got to see these 2 crossings:

Did the first one still have the mechanical bell? Also, the second one is rather odd, as it's an NS line and an NS signal there, but it's a WCH signal (though it appears to be a Safetran gate mech, and of course, a General Signals e-bell).
They/Them for me, please.

To be honest I don't remember on the bell for that first crossing. We had already been on the road almost 10 hours at that point and I was paying more attention to not getting lost (following the GPS). If you zoom in on the satellite picture though, based on the shadow it looks like the mechanical is still there. Not sure how recent the sat picture is though.

I certainly hope the M-bell is still there, as it appears to be a pure 1980s NS install.
