This cover is open.

Gateless crossing with windguards...
https://www.google.com.au/maps/@46.6723 ... 312!8i6656

That is pretty odd.

Just... why?

There is a small hill near the crossing but it doesn't seem large enough for a setup like that to be needed.

It also has five inch masts, so I'm thinking that they originally had gates but they were removed for some reason...

How do you get a link working with words, every time i do it it is the URL but its all broken.

Reverse Crossbuck.
https://www.google.com.au/maps/@42.0182 ... 312!8i6656

It would be like this:
url=https://www.google.com.au/maps/@42.0182 ... 312!8i6656 Reverse Crossbuck. /url

=https://www.google.com.au/maps/@42.018 ... Crossbuck.

The =[link] needs to be inside the url bracket.

I tried that, but it didn't work.

Anyway.

I will offer the next best tip: I will find a random crossing and use the link the way you want to do it. All you have to do is quote my post and see how I did it

Old crossing tower in Scranton PA?

I'm not sure if this signal has some sort of interesting lights or if they've just kind have gotten pushed through the background and visors.

https://www.google.com/maps/@41.4159662 ... 312!8i6656

Kind of an interesting setup they have here. It also seems like that this area hasn't changed sense the lines were abandoned. Of coarse with the exception of the condition of the crossing signals and the track.

The crossing also has WRRS mini bells!

Back in 2009 it didn't had gates. And the street was probably just built in 2008

No, not the relay cabinet, the little thing at the top of it.
