...It wasn't even there in 2014

Also, it may've been found under dirt, or as a barn find.

Those aren't Lex-C lights. They look like Safetrans.

you're right about that :oops:

but like i said it has been upgraded but the hybrid bell was replaced with an e-bell before the entire crossing was removed i know this because in 2013 google street view caught the crossing in action again!
