I didn't even know it was there until I saw it active in the Streetview!

Kind of defeats the purpose of having the signal there. :LOL:

Active crossing in Sheridan, Wyoming.

-----------------
8'' signals on a 10 track crossing! Kind of odd that they have Yield signs for the crossing even though there are signals there.

The person who is being lazy is the one who should be trimming the tree. That may or may not be the railroad's job. Go back to 2007 and the signal is not covered up. https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-37.779 ... 328!8i1664

Winston Yard in Lakeland, FL

If it is, this is quite interesting because the yard was abandoned by CSX not too long ago.
