Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Seen a large number of those in my travels, especially along CSX lines. NS seems to prefer to pile-up gravel around their signal bases to give the maintainers enough room to work.ZachL wrote:Those are there so that the maintainer wouldn't fall down while working on the signal.

Classic crossings:

This one looks to have a Safetran mechanical bell, which are somewhat rare on CSX lines, especially in Tennessee:

This crossing is right on the Tennesse/Kentucky state line:
