Looks like standard maintenance to me in that shot.
Although, yes it is gone as of 2015: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.2638799 ... 6656?hl=en
Crossing pictures from Plant City, FL are finally here! viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2538
Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
The signal in the very first link used to be a classic as well: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.2655341 ... 1664?hl=enToledoRailfan wrote:This is the first time that I've seen a no turn on left/right signal setup like this. https://www.google.com/maps/@39.2654931 ... 6656?hl=en
Here is this crossing active from the other side: https://www.google.com/maps/@38.7375562 ... 6656?hl=enToledoRailfan wrote:Here is another way that I have never seen a no turn on left/right signal setup like this. https://www.google.com/maps/@38.7378806 ... 6656?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@38.7378749 ... 6656?hl=en
Also notice the cat eye crossbuck?
Hard to tell with the grainy pics, but my guess is that it got clipped by a truck coming out of the gas station, or it was vandalized.ToledoRailfan wrote:This signal also only has one side light! https://www.google.com/maps/@38.8639452 ... 1664?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@38.8638687 ... 1664?hl=en

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
That crossing was caught in action back in 2007 as well, when it had both of the old cantilevers!ZachL wrote:Uh not at all.ToledoRailfan wrote:Classic cantilever signal being dismantled.https://www.google.com/maps/@39.2645799 ... 6656?hl=en

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
This line is active, but these signals are in poor shape:
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.6270698 ... 312!8i6656
One signal here has a gate while the other doesn't:
