Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
I have always thought that this shot of a crossing on street view covered with snow up to thelights was awesome. i have been searching for this streetview for a while now.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
That is a concern though, considering the snow is around 5 feet high, it can cause the gates to not lower fully, and most likely burn out the gate mechanisms motors.dan the ca railfan wrote:I have always thought that this shot of a crossing on street view covered with snow up to thelights was awesome. i have been searching for this streetview for a while now.

Along with that though, when the snow melts, it can possibly damage the insides of the signal from the water

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
AFAIK that line isn't even used anymore. I think that is the old McCloud River Railroad.NathanFromEngland wrote:That is a concern though, considering the snow is around 5 feet high, it can cause the gates to not lower fully, and most likely burn out the gate mechanisms motors.dan the ca railfan wrote:I have always thought that this shot of a crossing on street view covered with snow up to thelights was awesome. i have been searching for this streetview for a while now.
