Bad place to put a pole.

I don't see a reason why there needs to be gated signals and a median.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
You'd think those crossings would have two crossbucks on the signal or at least another crossbuck on a post on the other side of the crossing.cabman701 wrote:Check out the lone pedestrian signal a little down the way...NathanFromEngland wrote:Cool crossing!

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Sure is odd! I got to use the underpass this morning. The gates were on their way down for a train when I approached. My first thought wasToledoRailfan wrote: Odd crossing in Carlisle, Ohio.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Agreed. My guess is the bike path (or whatever it was) was meant to be one way... since they had a path on each side of the road. But you know for a fact people probably didn't pay attention to that.ToledoRailfan wrote:You'd think those crossings would have two crossbucks on the signal or at least another crossbuck on a post on the other side of the crossing.cabman701 wrote:Check out the lone pedestrian signal a little down the way...NathanFromEngland wrote:Cool crossing!

An NS crossing in rural Tennessee that has managed to keep it's 8 inch lights.

Odd looking, but I understand why they did it.
