Abandoned CP Rail line in Vancouver, BC.

Rail traffic hasn't been seen on this line since 2001. There was possibility of service being restored in 2014, but that never happened. The majority of the line is now a rail-trail, yet the signals still remain up.
We start here.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.27078 ... 312!8i6656
Some unknown lights.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.27078 ... 312!8i6656
These lights are in a reasonable condition.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.26968 ... 312!8i6656
45 degree crossbuck.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.26969 ... 312!8i6656
Nothing really here. Just a plain crossbuck.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.26925 ... 312!8i6656
This is a bit of a weird crossing, one of the lights on the closest signal are missing.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.26711 ... 312!8i6656
There was a community garden growing here!
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.26645 ... 312!8i6656
Sadly, its been removed.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.26645 ... 312!8i6656
This crossing has a US&S Teardrop bell! Its leaning at an angle though.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.26654 ... 312!8i6656
Another community garden, might've been cleared now.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.26635 ... 312!8i6656
This crossbucks faded a bit.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.26643 ... 312!8i6656
Hi there!
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.26656 ... 312!8i6656
Surely this couldn't have just been a stop sign crossing!
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.26639 ... 312!8i6656
Uhhhh.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.26557 ... 312!8i6656
...
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.26471 ... 312!8i6656
Traffic signal protected crossing.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.26376 ... 312!8i6656
Its gone now.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.26375 ... 312!8i6656
How'd this end up here?
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.26286 ... 312!8i6656
Nothing to see here, move along.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.26194 ... 312!8i6656
This traffic signal was still active.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.26100 ... 312!8i6656
However, by 2017 it had been removed.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.26097 ... 312!8i6656
Weirdly enough, somebody had decided to repaint this signal
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.26096 ... 312!8i6656
Randomly reversed crossbuck.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.26005 ... 312!8i6656
That is one cool 45 degree crossbuck, these people must have some hearts!
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.25912 ... 312!8i6656
Getting better and better!
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.25914 ... 312!8i6656
Wooden crossbuck vs metal crossbuck.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.25867 ... 312!8i6656
Another one of these survivors.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.25731 ... 312!8i6656
Interesting intersection crossing.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.25148 ... 312!8i6656
This is a nice passive crossing.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.24759 ... 312!8i6656
Nice US&S cantilevers.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.24198 ... 312!8i6656
These signals are in a very sorry condition.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.23829 ... 312!8i6656
Another US&S Teardrop!
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.23460 ... 312!8i6656
They removed it!
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.23463 ... 312!8i6656
The tracks are still in the road.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.23084 ... 312!8i6656
At least they kept the relay case.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.22717 ... 312!8i6656
Nothing too special here.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.21951 ... 312!8i6656
Crossbuck in a bad way.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.21326 ... 312!8i6656
At least they kept the signals.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.20859 ... 312!8i6656
This stop sign has 2007 printed on it for some reason.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.20490 ... 312!8i6656
Abandoned spur crossing not far from the last crossing.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@49.20436 ... 312!8i6656
Back to active status.

And they still kept a red/white Canadian crossbuck at this crossing after the other red/white crossbucks were removed.

Fernley, Nevada
There is only a stop sign to protect this side.
https://goo.gl/maps/yeD8725SnHD2
Stop sign and private crossing sign here
https://goo.gl/maps/NX2xxL6G7FF2
Where the line connects to the mainline.

Private Crossing
https://goo.gl/maps/GvPPLeCXkc32

Looks like this part of the line is still in service.
https://goo.gl/maps/eSwkwykMTu32


Wadsworth, Nevada
Hill Ranch Road; one lone crossbuck in despicable condition.
https://goo.gl/maps/u2bpVyaLJkP2
I think it's safe to say that this is clearly out of service.
https://goo.gl/maps/HZguBwTHhdp
End of the active line.
https://goo.gl/maps/yJpCcM4QHCp

Lincoln Highway; it appears that only the embankment still exists here.

Trestle

Virginia Street; the remains of the spur.

Accidentally discovered an out of service line while looking through New Jersey.
First crossing is nothing special, just a WRRS setup.
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.5325885 ... 312!8i6656
I never knew these existed in New Jersey.
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.6059943 ... 312!8i6656
The line must've went bust just before the end of 2008/2009. There are Safetran mechanical bells in this view.
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.6426791 ... 328!8i1664
However, they have since been strangely replaced with WCH E-Bells.
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.6426781 ... 312!8i6656
Mother Nature's taking its place on this crossbuck.
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.6545824 ... 312!8i6656
More gateless crossings.

Fixed.

Thanks.

How are you certain the line is out of service? That looks like a pretty nice ROW right there.
