Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Here's an interesting signal on the RJ Corman Memphis Line (which doesn't actually reach Memphis, TN):
https://www.google.com/maps/@36.8492572 ... 312!8i6656
The crossing as a whole is a bit interesting as it features a pair of 5 inch masts despite being gateless. Maybe the L&N had originally installed gates here?
An early General Signals e-bell!
https://www.google.com/maps/@36.821233, ... 312!8i6656
Wonder if it still works?
Some old Transport Products Corp. signals from the L&N here, though only the masts, bell (maybe), one base, and junction boxes are original to them it appears:
https://www.google.com/maps/@36.8615503 ... 312!8i6656
Another early GSI e-bell!
https://www.google.com/maps/@36.9102078 ... 328!8i1664
Classic signals:

A bit of an interesting way to aim the lights here:
https://www.google.com/maps/@36.9944425 ... 312!8i6656
Looks like this used to be a gated two-way set-up:

Also, the bell is mounted on the relay case:

Active crossing in Martinsburg, West Virginia.
https://www.google.nl/maps/@39.443376,- ... !8i6656?hl
I haven't got a clue why these SORS signs are placed on both sides of the crossing.
https://www.google.nl/maps/@39.4525786, ... !8i6656?hl
I like these light extensions!
https://www.google.nl/maps/@39.4563062, ... !8i6656?hl
Weird countergate arms.
https://www.google.nl/maps/@39.5503208, ... !8i6656?hl
What's this next to the base?
https://www.google.nl/maps/@39.5632827, ... !8i6656?hl
Funnily enough, this road is named CSX Trail (Below overpass)
https://www.google.nl/maps/@39.6915783, ... !8i6656?hl
Coupling operation.
https://www.google.nl/maps/@39.598408,- ... !8i6656?hl
This looks weird.

Vandal-guards on all the lights at this crossing!

Also, for some reason, there's an extra gateless signal here as well:
https://www.google.com/maps/@33.4776008 ... 312!8i6656
Used to have a mechanical bell as well though:
https://www.google.com/maps/@33.4775828 ... 312!8i6656
Wonder how the bells operate?

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
I assumed that they're for this road even though it looks like they'd be hard to see. They probably should just move that signal to be next to that road and maybe add a gate as anyone on that road has to cross over the crossing regardless of which direction they are going to turn on the main road. https://www.google.com/maps/@33.4775673 ... 312!8i6656ZachL wrote:Maybe they're supposed to serve this?freebrickproductions wrote:Also, for some reason, there's an extra gateless signal here as well:
