Same here. All that I just see is a standard early-2000s CSX install. This is interesting though:

Sorry, just not that many installs like that are polished in such a manner around here with incandescent signals. Plus, it reminded me of how polished 2000s NS installs are. :Roll:

hmm, interesting!

Yeah, you either have an SCL/ACL install, late 80s/early 90s CSX install, or a 2010s CSX install (with LEDs). :sleep:

Seems Florida is also full of 1990s CSX installs, which are some of my favorite standard crossing installs by any railroad (others being Conrail installs from the 1990s, CSX installs from the 1980s/early 1990s, and CSX installs from the early 2000s).
They/Them for me, please.

Interesting....
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.2475472 ... 6656?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.2476866 ... 6656?hl=en
-----------------
I wonder if this crossbuck post has been hit before?
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.2476866 ... 6656?hl=en
-----------------
Interesting setup!
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.2677785 ... 6656?hl=en

It kind of reminds me of the E 1st St. crossing in Monroe before it was updated.
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.9081193 ... 1664?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.9083686 ... 1664?hl=en

It also kind of reminds me of the Monroe St. crossing in Charleton.
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.059227, ... 6656?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.0592508 ... 6656?hl=en
-----------------
Active crossing in Monroe, Michigan.
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.9066174 ... 6656?hl=en
Here is the train.
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.906727, ... 6656?hl=en
-----------------
Interesting cantilever.
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.3119336 ... 6656?hl=en
-----------------
Kind of odd.
