We were just talking about that crossing and neighboring crossings not that long ago! I don't think anyone found an active view of one of them.

Railroad crossing with 2 inverted track signs, also a possible location where Hall Disc signals (Banjo signals) could have been used in the past.

There is this crossing in my area with two inverted track signs. But it is in a bad neighborhood so I don't have any plans to document this crossing. :Awww:

Here's a pure early CSX install!

And a pure 1980s NS install!
https://www.google.com/maps/@34.918692, ... 312!8i6656

And just up the NS line is a rather nice mostly-pure Southern Railway install:

With another pure 1980s NS install!
https://www.google.com/maps/@34.9191869 ... 312!8i6656

Another almost-pure SOU install:

They/Them for me, please.

To protect the little animals from the crossing! :LOL3:
I thought it would be worth mentioning that the gate and it's mechanism have been removed.

Yes, I do enjoy reading older posts on the forum every now and then.

Active crossing in Uruguay, with a car driving around the gates. Looks like the google car did too!
