Beach pedestrian crossings from San Clemente, CA! https://www.google.com/maps/@33.405117, ... 56!6m1!1e1
And here it is from the other side (from the parking lot): https://www.google.com/maps/@33.4054125 ... 312!8i6656

A little further down the tracks. You can see 2 pedestrian crossings active in this shot! https://www.google.com/maps/@33.426825, ... 240!8i5120

Here's another for access to a beach restaurant from their parking lot: https://www.google.com/maps/@33.4311603 ... 312!8i6656

This is what made me want to go explore this area: http://www.railpictures.net/photo/583517/

Nice finds!

Here are a couple finds of my own:
Two e-bells on this signal, with the top one most likely being dead:

Active crossing. Amazingly, Google actually stopped for the train!

Looks like the leading engine is a standard-cab Dash-8 in YN2!

That makes a ton of sense there... https://www.google.com/maps/@33.7218881 ... 312!8i6656

Just found a video of this crossing in action, it appears at least some of the bells remain active when the gates are down, but shut off when the gates begin to rise:

The gates are in front of the lights. https://www.google.com/maps/@27.5059644 ... 6656?hl=en

The signal on the other side of the crossing is a big contrast from that signal.

Willing to bet that newer signal is a result of an older signal being mowed down. Look at the condition of the barrier around it.

Yes to possibly being knocked down, but no to the barrier/mowing.
