Active crossing in Hiram, GA:

Signal maintenance at a now closed crossing:

Some nice later SOU signals with a General Signals e-bell. Hopefully NS hasn't replaced the 8 inch lights here:

Looks like they have, sadly:

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Between 2013 and 2015, though I'm not sure why it was closed, though it appears to be related to the construction of this nearby road:ZachL wrote:any idea when or why this crossing was closed?freebrickproductions wrote:Signal maintenance at a now closed crossing:

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
There's a sign poking around here, and it does indicate the word "Closure" on it.freebrickproductions wrote:Between 2013 and 2015, though I'm not sure why it was closed, though it appears to be related to the construction of this nearby road:ZachL wrote:any idea when or why this crossing was closed?freebrickproductions wrote:Signal maintenance at a now closed crossing:

Here's an unusual light cluster.
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.7612099 ... 312!8i6656
Back in 2011, said signal had a WRRS mini-bell, until it was removed and the signal seen in the middle recieved a WCH E-Bell.
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.7613054 ... 312!8i6656
Wonder what this little signal could be for? Certainly unusual especially for a crossbuck crossing.
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.7638045 ... 312!8i6656
Unusual, but the bracket is because a power line blocks the signal.
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.769926, ... 312!8i6656
You're parked a little too close to the tracks buddy.
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.790237, ... 312!8i6656
I also wonder if this nearby strobe light may have something to do with the crossing?
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.790237, ... 312!8i6656
Partially neglected 45 degree crossbuck.
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.8095433 ... 312!8i6656
Somewhat more neglected 45 degree crossbuck.

The smallest trestle in the U.S.?

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
What bell is this? (On a crossing in Brazil)
https://www.google.com/maps/@-29.677280 ... 312!8i6656
I'm also curious on these WABCO looking gate mechanisms.

These are most likely Brazilian-Made. They manufacture their own Signals over there.NathanFromEngland wrote:What bell is this? (On a crossing in Brazil)
