Looks like a teardrop on there too.

first time I have seen a lamp put on the gate mechanism, as well as the bell put that way on the mast. AWSOME!

The lamp's on the other side of the crossing!

Yup. That is a streetlight!

But the signal itself is definitely cool. I wonder if that photo is current... does that signal still exist somewhere?

Curiosity killed the kitty.

I decided to do a little Street View surfing to see if I could find that signal. Not all streets in that town (Glen Ridge, NJ) are on Street View, but I think I found the same railroad.

Here's a some of them with the bell mounted lower on the signal.

Note: Street View is still messing up... it ends up pointing in a different direction then what I saved the link at, so you will need to look around a little.

Those signals in the third link are hella ugly! any idea when the second track was pulled up

[Smjh1979]

Yes, Google Street View is glitching pretty badly. That third link is ugly. I hate setups like that.

Otherwise, it's strange seeing so many teardrops out there.
