Wrong.
I've told him more than enough times now that stop signs at intersections where crossings are located are not FRA violations. :glare:
Saying that stop signs at intersections where crossings are located is an FRA violation should be an FRA violation.

Triangular gate arm in Tranquillity, California.

This signal in Kerman, California has a 12"x20" and a 12"x24" light on the same side. Looks kinda odd...

Interesting how the signals at this crossing in Kitzbühel, Tyrol have the crossbucks turned sideways on the little cantilevers. I wonder if that is standard in Austria?

Kind of interesting how this advance warning sign warns motorists of the streetcar tracks curing to the right. That advance warning sign is the only railroad crossing signage there.

I wonder what these signs under the crossbucks were all about. They're gone now.
