I don't even think the mainline here is in service (except for storage).

Odd No Right/ Left Turn signals.

Probably on the forums somewhere, but this signal has a Safetran Type 1. You can't see it because of the bridge obscuring it however.

This one's odd. This streetview was taken in 2009 when the line was out of service.

Sometime between 2011 and 2014, the triangle gates and mechanical bells were replaced with Safetran gates and GS E-Bells. The line came back into service in 2016, but the upgrade is still odd.

Remaining rail from long defunct spur track?

This crossing has a prototype GS Type 1 on it. (I think this one's on the forums somewhere also IIRC, but :OhWell: :Tongue2: )

Storage lines constitute as a line in service no?

Looks like it was a restaurant of some kind. Like the signal with the Griswold lights though.
They/Them for me, please.
