Just found that. I'm surprised the signal is still standing!

EDIT:

Even more classic signals,
http://g.co/maps/puwm9
also, if you look closely at the dwarf signal near the bridge, the light is still on though the line is clearly abandoned:

I also found some more signals along that line too. Looks as if it was a quad-gate crossing.

Median signals, not quad gates.
This is a quad setup, http://goo.gl/maps/BCbCW

Ah thanks. Mistake fixed.
Edit:
Found another signal. Looks as if the cantilever was designed to protect only one side because the line becomes street-running. Too bad it no longer runs anymore.

Edit #2:
Found a wooden crossbuck on the abandoned line:

And I also found a cantilever along the line:
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=San+Dieg ... ,8.09&z=21
However, neither the cantilever, nor the relay case, are there anymore:

Here's one I found just after a train went through this crossing

Found a broken crossing gate.

Take a look at this crossing!
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... 5,,0,-1.01
The old cantilever is still standing even though it is obviously replaced!
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... 9,,0,-7.34
And this cantilever has wayside signals on it!
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... 7,,0,-9.86
This is an interesting crossing.
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... 31,,0,6.12
Here's an active one. Oddly placed cantilevers too.
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... 4,,0,-7.49
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... .2,,0,-8.5
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... 2,,0,-1.37

Found a 1 Tracks sign!
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... 11,,0,7.95
Found more active signals. There is an engine down the tracks that I think is activating the signals.
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... 70,,0,3.56
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... 7,,0,-1.01
The engine is a Santa Fe engine!
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... 42,,0,6.58
Black 2 tracks sign.
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... 9,,1,-1.28
Seeing how far back this signal is, there were probably more tacks at one point.
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... 06,,0,5.85
I'm 99% sure this cantilever has been mentioned before.
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... ,,0,-14.12
Hmm.
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... 65,,0,4.34
Wonder who took out this crossbuck?
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... 4,,1,18.64
Here's an interesting cantilever.
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... 6,,0,-6.85

Found some active signals that are near an air raid siren!
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=+%09E.+2 ... 1,,0,-9.46
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=+%09E.+2 ... 6,,1,-4.39
Looks like some city-workers are doing something with the traffic lights at that crossing too.
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=+%09E.+2 ... 53,,1,4.59

Somebody has had a little extra time on their hands...

CSX train. If you move back and forth a little bit, you can see the Google Streetview Car is going just faster than the train is.
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... 5,,0,-0.18
And this crossing further west is active for the same train!
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... ,3.29&z=18
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... ,1.74&z=18
Looks like someone didn't get the memo that the crossing is closed:

https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... 14.85&z=16
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=3 ... ,9.51&z=16
Found a whistle post.

This crossing has 4 signals, three of which have GRS LEX-C lights!

The next crossing down has them also.

Although the tracks don't go straight through the middle of the intersection, there are 4 signals. And they all appear to be controlled by a single control box. Also notice there is an extra crossbuck next to the building on the right.

Here are some parked CSX engines:
