Here is are some views of the crossing when it had 8'' lights.

I found out about them through this video. Pretty odd that they lower while the train is at the crossing!

Sadly not there anymore. Took a trip in February of 2015 and the replacement gates were up but not active.

A view of the crossing from October of 2015 shows the gates.

My bad. Must've been 2016 when I went up. There were replacement signals up though.

I doubt that those gates are still there, but would love to be wrong. The crossing still had incandescent lights and the old style gate lights. Strange how GSV visited the area in 2008 then twice in 2010, but hasn't been back since :Confused:

It'd be really cool if there haven't been any changes to the crossing since street view went through.

Satellite view is too grainy to try and make anything out as to if there've been any changes though.
They/Them for me, please.

Some on an abandoned BNSF line in Canton, Illinois.

This one has WRRS lantern gate lights!

Sadly, this gate has seen better days, a large chunk of it has snapped off and the lantern lights are hanging.

These are in a decent condition, the gates are pretty faded though.

Paris, Kentucky.

Thought this one was posted before but I types "Paris" into the search bar but I couldn't find it!

This is on the same line and near of this crossing that David posted here a while back.
