Sorry, I had time to look at your StreetView links at the I replied (but not the video) and only noticed that the other signals weren't visibly active, and noticed the lack of "X Tracks" signs.ToledoRailfan wrote:What?ZachL wrote:Not the GSV links though??ToledoRailfan wrote:The video shows all of the signal active.ZachL wrote:Because those are three separate crossings.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
I'm not gonna lie, but that looks ugly when you upgrade only the lights on a classic signal without upgrading anything else, or at least repainting the signal to make it look new with the lights.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
The is kind of common around here in northwest Ohio and Indiana, probably in other parts of Ohio as well but oddly enough not really in southeast Michigan. Tommy and I have several crossings like that on the site, it isn't uncommon to see bell-less setups like that around here as well.ZachL wrote:I'm not gonna lie, but that looks ugly when you upgrade only the lights on a classic signal without upgrading anything else, or at least repainting the signal to make it look new with the lights.
Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Makes me wonder if the funding for those lights came from the state government then, if that's the case.ToledoRailfan wrote:The is kind of common around here in northwest Ohio and Indiana, probably in other parts of Ohio as well but oddly enough not really in southeast Michigan.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Seems to be common-practice for CSX in Ohio to pretty much have all of their gateless crossings have 12 inch LEDs. I don't know why, but probably for safety reasons.ZachL wrote:Makes me wonder if the funding for those lights came from the state government then, if that's the case.ToledoRailfan wrote:The is kind of common around here in northwest Ohio and Indiana, probably in other parts of Ohio as well but oddly enough not really in southeast Michigan.

Active crossing:
https://www.google.com/maps/@33.7263315 ... authuser=0
And yes, it is on the site.
Classic crossing:
https://www.google.com/maps/@33.6703532 ... authuser=0
Extra-tall mast:
https://www.google.com/maps/@33.663752, ... authuser=0
And an old CoG signal is still here as well!
https://www.google.com/maps/@33.663849, ... authuser=0
Some more classic CoG signals. Sadly, the original RRS bell that was here is long gone:
https://www.google.com/maps/@33.6598224 ... authuser=0
https://www.google.com/maps/@33.6599345 ... authuser=0
Also, why are there two e-bells on this signal?
https://www.google.com/maps/@33.6598224 ... authuser=0
And more classic signals. The one on the near-side of the crossing dates back to the CoG days as well:
https://www.google.com/maps/@33.6577184 ... authuser=0
One more pair of classics:
