Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
If I were likely to guess, I think this is an old SOU gated install:
https://www.google.com/maps/@36.4749831 ... 328!8i1664
Not sure about this one... (This has a WCH/WRRS Mechanical Bell.)
https://www.google.com/maps/@36.4753882 ... 312!8i6656
I think this is another old SOU install, but it's gateless:
https://www.google.com/maps/@36.4170413 ... 384!8i8192
Early NS install?

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Is this a early CSX DOT Tag? Never asked this before.
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.2662433 ... 312!8i6656
1980's CSX installation that should be downgraded. Why? The area here is pretty empty, though back in 2007 towards the camera there were some factory units.

What on earth is a brake stick?

https://www.google.com/maps/@39.4899064 ... 312!8i6656
Quite an odd crossing.

One signal is from the 90s while the other is from the early 2000s, just FYI.NathanFromEngland wrote: Wed Sep 11, 2019 3:53 pm 1980's CSX installation that should be downgraded. Why? The area here is pretty empty, though back in 2007 towards the camera there were some factory units.

Also, IIRC, if the line's busy, then the signals may still be warranted.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Yea, even if there isn't many trains there, then you've probably still got a good few switching moves through the crossing.NathanFromEngland wrote: Wed Sep 11, 2019 4:58 pmIIRC, going left takes you close to a yard.freebrickproductions wrote: Wed Sep 11, 2019 4:04 pmOne signal is from the 90s while the other is from the early 2000s, just FYI.NathanFromEngland wrote: Wed Sep 11, 2019 3:53 pm 1980's CSX installation that should be downgraded.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Yes. Quite an excess of signals, if you ask me. CSX should’ve scrapped some gateless ones and just added sidelights. Again, just my opinion.NathanFromEngland wrote: Wed Sep 11, 2019 3:53 pm Another odd crossing.

Proud owner of a Safetran 3rd Gen M-Bell, a GS Type 2 bell, a dead GS type 1 bell, a WRRS M-bell, and a US&S H-2 searchlight signal.
Why does everyone copy my signature?
OG signal collection signature, I think.
