Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Three relay cases, surely one would be for the crossing, but what could the rest be for?

Believe I've posted those before, they appear to be some kind of custom product, likely used to replace a pair of mast signal if I had to guess.NathanFromEngland wrote:Those look like US&S canteliever, that must've been repainted in recent years.dan the ca railfan wrote:very interesting cantilevers!

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
unsure if this bell is a US&S mechanical bell because it is rusty.
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.0872959 ... 312!8i6656
but i think it is because it kind of matches the bell on the left side of the crossing in harrisburg ,or which i know for a fact has a US&S mechanical bell

Looks like one, but i keep wanting to say it appears to look like a WRRS bell but i guess both have similarities.
