Spot the difference.

Hrm, i wonder if this was once a buckseye crossbuck setup.

Hmmmm...

When were these signals installed?

These lights are pointing towards nowhere. How will these cars see them?

These lights are partially seperated for some reason.

A crossbuck crossing behind a gated crossing.

Buckeye crossbuck setups are pretty much exclusive to Ohio. The setup that you shared is used throughout Idaho.

That setup is kind of common in the Western and western Midwest states. The other crossbuck there is kind of interesting.
