Google Maps Scavenger Hunt

One of the most oddest crossings i've ever seen.
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.510118 ... 312!8i6656

This crossing has unusually large counterweights for US&S Model 95's.

WCH Mechanical Bell and Safetran lights on an ungated crossing which replaced a flagman signal.

I wonder if the teardrop and/or wig wag still work or are they disconnected?

They're probably disconnected.

Not a wigwag master, but wouldn't there be a magnet holding the banner when not activated?

I'm not sure what you mean. The arm is just pointing downward from gravity.

Might've been posted before, but what are these things?

US&S wigwags were designed to go off to one side and hid behind a little covering when off.

Hard to tell but those could either be Eagle or Crouse-Hinds beacons

Active crossing in Milan, TN:

An old crossing setup in the same town also in action!

Sadly gone:

Pretty Far gate mast from the cantilever:

Mast lights as side lights:

Looks like that crossbuck here needs worked on:

An old Private Drive sign?

Pretty nice 8 inch install here:
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.9151708 ... 312!8i6656

Interesting side lights placement:
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.9181882 ... 312!8i6656

Not related, but this here is rather interesting: My guess is that there is a train within distance?

Vandalized relay case:

This might've been a RR crossing here at some point:

Looks like Transport Products Corp. 8 inch lights here?

Pretty Far gate mast from the cantilever:

It's likely a third set of tracks existed there, and while they did move the gate, it'd probably be easier to leave the cantilever in place instead of move that as well.
