Oh nice, a distant signal! I wonder if it still works...

I'd certainly hope so! The diamond just up the line looks to still be in use:

It appears the line with the distant signal also uses some old signals for the diamond as well!

CSX has upgraded theirs at that junction though.

The rustiness on the D is what made me think it may have been out of service.

For a second I almost thought that was a rolling trailer without a truck attached to it.

Obviously a country music fan...

Kind of an interesting setup they've got here for signalling a taxi or bus! At least that is what I think it is for!

That appears to be a reversible lane for busses, taxies, and cars with three or more occupants between 6 AM to 9 AM Monday through Friday.

And here's a reversible lane in Nashville, TN:

Wow... I have never seen a set up light that. Do they solely rely on people to obey those signals? I can see that turning bad real quick!

Pretty much. However, I suppose the fines are steep enough to discourage people from disobeying them, as I never see anyone ignore them.
