Interesting. Wonder what it is going to be used for.

On the same crossing.

For a sec, I thought "why does one side need two gate masts, what's the point in that", until I realized it's just the Google Street View glitch of duplicate images.

I just love it when Google maps glitches like that. I seen worse though.

One time it looked like there was a double decker cantilever.

Interesting to see that this crossing was upgraded from Griswold Type B lights prior to being taken out of service:

Also worth noting that both occurred prior to 2012:

Abandoned cantilevers in Philadelphia, PA:

These signals appear to be in an okay condition(minus the missing two lights).

Here's one where the grade was torn up.
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1429891 ... 6656?hl=en

The signals at Ferry Street in Sedro-Woolley were removed sometime in the past few months with the grade being removed and paved over. They were the last remaining signals with 8" lights in the entire Whatcom/Skagit county area.

There was a rumor of the signals being put on display in Burlington at this location, but I never saw them when I was up in the area last month.

State Street was a passive crossing. IIRC, the signs still remain.

Line becomes covered in forest and vegetation until the tracks end at Jameson Street.

This trestle is still in place going over the Skagit River. It's cut off just before going over Skagit Highway.

Nothing until Division Street in Arlington where this lone cantilever remains.

Tracks resurface just past 3rd Street and become active not too far past their resurfacing. You can even see a local switcher parked on the end of the line.

Out-of-Service industrial lead that branches off of the line.

Unrelated, but this trestle goes over I-5 in Marysville not too far from where the line diverges onto the Bellingham Subdivision. Nothing left of this line but this trestle and some track to the west end of I-5.
