Do these look like older crossings to anyone? To me the relay boxes look older, at least.

I'd say those crossing are abandoned as the tracks appear to be cut off from the mainline which runs next to the road. Wonder if this line was a spur one point?

Looks like two separate spurs, likely leading to industries that have either long since died or stopped shipping by rail.

And yea, those are definitely some older signals, that second one's entirely 8 inch!

Wow, those are only about 50 miles from me! Never thought there'd still be standing equipment of that age so close to me.

Might be worth checking out some day, at least to get some pictures for the site.

Also, I thought you were moving to Virginia? Or has that not happened yet (assuming it hasn't fallen through)?

Looking again, I just noticed at the second one, there's an old four way traffic signal (Eagle maybe?) next to the tracks for some reason!

That's definitely an Eagle.

Wondering if the customer that was there handled hazardous material or something else dangerous, so the signal was there to let people know if it was safe to enter the property? Redstone Arsenal has a few signals like that around the rocket test stands.
