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

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.
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.
