Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Google caught the US 431 crossing in Albertville in action twice:
With train:

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
The crossbuck is very far from the road. https://www.google.com/maps/@43.8335977 ... 6656?hl=en
The other crossbuck is close enough to the road but is very far from the crossing!

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
These are all from Sanford, North Carolina:
- Found a couple of signals on display at an old station between several live tracks:
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.4809464 ... 56!6m1!1e1
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.4801808 ... 56!6m1!1e1 - Street running... down an unpaved street!
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.459617, ... 6656?hl=en
http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.p ... 51&nseq=14 - No mast lights on either side:
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.4766249 ... 56!6m1!1e1
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.4759942 ... 56!6m1!1e1 - And this one doesn't have mast lights on the fronts, only the rear.
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.4737292 ... 56!6m1!1e1
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.474222, ... 56!6m1!1e1 - This bump out for the gate appears to be a do it yourself job...
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.4614279 ... 56!6m1!1e1 - At the very end of this line is a long string of storage cars that looks like they have been there quite awhile:

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Active private crossing:
https://www.google.com/maps/@36.5103775 ... 312!8i6656
Check out that BAD sign on the left edge of the frame
So I decided to advance forward to see what was leading this train:

Salt Lake City, Utah. Extra crossbucks on the left and right, in the middle of this 6 track crossing:
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.8056109 ... 6656?hl=en
And here's another crossing in North Carolina with no mast lights:

I'm trying to figure out what purpose they serve, since they don't appear to be facing traffic.cabman701 wrote:Salt Lake City, Utah. Extra crossbucks on the left and right, in the middle of this 6 track crossing:

I wouldn't call that private crossing "active" though, since it's only crossbucks.
