Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Odd seeing something like this survive so long on the BNSF.
https://goo.gl/maps/foRn5JoAevp
As usual, it was replaced with the generic BNSF crossing setup.
https://goo.gl/maps/D6W4sgefM8C2
All gateless crossing.
https://goo.gl/maps/bzRaZoiYK5r
This is just weird.
https://goo.gl/maps/J1o5cuhvWjx
More signals that have survived longer than expected.

The cantilever and gate are both on an elevated concrete surface.

It's been known about for a few years now. The crossing is even on the site as I went down there in 2015 to try and document it. Sadly, it was replaced sometime between 2013 and 2015.NathanFromEngland wrote: Quick! I must post this before anyone beats me to it!

Active crossing in Orlando, Florida.
https://www.google.com/maps/@28.5402894 ... 6656?hl=en
Weird FCRR setup.
https://www.google.com/maps/@28.54564,- ... 6656?hl=en
This crossing has a WCH mechanical bell!
https://www.google.com/maps/@28.5458541 ... 6656?hl=en

https://www.google.com/maps/@28.5527399 ... 6656?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@28.5531606 ... 6656?hl=en
Believe it or not, the FCRR made a weird move by replacing GS bells with WCH bells, How are they mean't to open them? I wonder if the GS bells were donated for the SunRail project.

For some reason, GSV lists this road as a dead end.

I also want to record this crossing, as long as the RACO hasn't died or been replaced.
https://www.google.com/maps/@28.5567401 ... 6656?hl=en
GSV captured work going on at the end of the road in December 2016, but the crossing doesn't seem to be primarily affected considering the road still needs to be open for a uniform store.
Abandoned signal that only contained a gate for some random path or presumably a former road.

They can be opened like any other WCH mechanical bell, as the bell itself will just swing to the side rather than the door.NathanFromEngland wrote: I have no words...
