I'm surprised there isn't any signage for the crossing for this road, even though it is pretty obvious that there is a crossing there you would still think there would be some sort of signage.

Those are some old US&S SAL cantilever signals. Nice find!
Did you see the cats-eyed crossbucks there? :TUP2: I think I may have posted those before.
They/Them for me, please.

I'm wondering why one cantilever has LEDs on it...

I wouldn't be surprised if the mast lights on it got hit.

Google caught it active from the other side too. I like how they did the "side" lights on these signals.

I think that it is time for this crossbuck to be replaced!

I think this is more than enough for a one-way crossing.

Here is what the crossing use to look like.
