...And that's a prime example on why you should never park near train tracks.
Kind of hard to tell whats going on there. Looks like the crossing west being tested.

Also, lets have a moment of silence for the crossing.

Quite the setup there!
Wow @ the redevelopment going on there :Ohmy:

Active crossing in Orange Park, Florida.

Strange bell mounting, looks like they never removed the base of whatever mechanical bell (most likely WCH) here.
https://www.google.com/maps/@30.1579213 ... 312!8i6656
Quite an interesting sign.
https://www.google.com/maps/@30.1580508 ... 312!8i6656
Weird sign for a bump.
https://www.google.com/maps/@30.1460519 ... 312!8i6656
RACO Bell?
https://www.google.com/maps/@30.1314173 ... 312!8i6656
WABCO Model 75 gate mechanisms.
https://www.google.com/maps/@30.1358677 ... 312!8i6656
Look's like i found the crossing where DJ's Railroad Crossing was filmed.

https://www.google.com/maps/@30.1208683 ... 312!8i6656
The only change since that video was taken (I know there's a first one too!) is that the WCH gate mechanism was replaced by a Safetran/Invensys Rail gate mechanism.
This WRRS/WCH bell could do with a little TLC.
