Sorry to get off topic. I went searching around that village and I found a caboose on display with a signal that is not in good condition. The signal has a teardrop bell and one 8'' light that is missing it's background and maybe it's visor. https://www.google.com/maps/@39.5196288 ... 6656?hl=en

Actually, it looks like the signal has all of its lights and visors:

That particular model of light may not have been made to have a background.

Must have been an illusion, I probably did not notice it sense I first saw it from the side too. I was also thinking it could have been one of those old signals without backgrounds, there recently was two pairs of them not to far from where I live along with two crossings that had one of those signals.

It's not just you... Google blurred out part of the tree and the signal in that link you provided.

Found this one in McLoud, Oklahoma

I know it's a little off topic but there seems to be some confusion with Google spelling the name of the street as "Pittman" but the street sign says "Pitman".
I quite like the small sign, it looks neat https://www.google.com/maps/@35.4382082 ... 6656?hl=en

Google Maps are entirely user-edited, so it could be someone went in there and made it spelled as Pittman instead of Pitman. You could change it to Pitman in Google's map maker and see if gets approved.

I think the information in the upper left corner can not be edited by users, but I don't know that for sure.

The road name displayed there typically ties in with the road that it's on. Maybe the city/zip information cannot be edited, but I know that the road name can be.

Came across this one in Deerfield IL... https://www.google.com/maps/@42.1808015 ... !1e1?hl=en

And here is the crossing in action with an awesome video of a steamer doing 70 MPH!
