Active Crossing in Odessa, Ukraine. This one has old Lights from the USSR era!
https://www.google.com/maps/@46.4533533 ... 312!8i6656
Further up the line there is another active Crossing. This one is even older!
These Gate Mechanisms are also from the Soviet Era.

Here's a neat little B&O-era signal on a still-used part of the CSX Illinois Sub in Lawrenceburg, IL:

An unusual ACL/SCL installtion on a small residential road in Dunnelton, Florida.

Since then, CSX appears to have lost trackage ownership, passed on to the FCEN who installed these shoddy looking signals with those WCH mechanical bells on the sides.

Also, I personally like the newer signals. They look rather nice (if a bit boring), though the side-mounted WCH mechanicals is rather cool as you don't see mechanical bells mounted on the sides of masts much anymore, especially on modern installs.

CSX probably continues to have trackage rights while the FCEN owns the track.NathanFromEngland wrote:An unusual ACL/SCL installtion on a small residential road in Dunnelton, Florida.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Hard to see, but this is an active crossing near Camden, TN:
https://www.google.com/maps/@36.0425376 ... 312!8i6656
Not related, but I'm guessing this old L&N Track Signal still remains on this line.

On the topic of that, CSX still seems to show some love for this line, as new ties are due to be laid. It is unusual to place ties on a siding though, but it may be unused.
