Salem to Peabody, Massachusetts.
A nice 1960's WRRS installation, but it appears the cantelievers WRRS 8 inch lights were replaced with WCH 12x20 inch lights in recent years.

Crossing railroad.

It appears the crossbucks have been replaced along with the sidewalks, must be some economic development going on here.
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.5219799 ... 6656?hl=en
Looks like the branches are beginning to overgrow badly here.
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.5243527 ... 6656?hl=en
Why are there rectangular crossbuck clamps here?
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.5250138 ... 6656?hl=en
...Now i just think this is completely unnessecary.

The overgrowth here is insane.

Look's like the line ends here.

A BAYL branch line in Abbeville, AL:
The signals here have since been removed:

Abandoned NS line in Des Moines, IA:

The crossing is on the site as well:

Nearby there's an abandoned rail. Not sure what railroad used it originally:

According to sattelite view, this somewhat modern Iowa Interstate crossing has been taken out of service due to the spur it's on having had the switch removed from the main:

Another abandoned line in the Des Moines area, also likely NS:

https://www.google.com/maps/@41.5826931 ... 312!8i6656

The line continues further east, but there's nothing left of it other than the ROW before you reach where it becomes active again.

Fixed. The closing parenthesis made the automatic link generation goof and cut off part of the URL.
