Google Streetview has updated the US 6 Crossing view between Napoleon and Liberty Center, Ohio. Interesting how they removed the rails but still left the concrete crossing panels in the roadway... patching the "ex" flangeways full of asphalt and then paving over them. I guess this decision was made because the line isn't officially abandoned to Liberty Center, just out of service. Though it's hard to grasp something happening to cause that small stretch to be used again.
Well, :Censored:

Some old RACO(?) Canalivers there... What kind of mechanical bell is it at this crossing?

Kinda surprised that this crossbuck in downtown Nashville's managed to hang on for so long:

CSX logic: If we still own the ROW, it's gotta at least have a crossbuck if it's not signalized. :Roll:

It wasn't even there in 2009!
