I don't think that I've seen a cantilever signal this tall! :Blink:
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.9315652 ... 1664?hl=en

Here is the crossing today.
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.9317867 ... 6656?hl=en
-----------------------
Classic signals.
https://www.google.com/maps/@43.1857322 ... 6656?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@43.1853755 ... 6656?hl=en
-----------------------
Kind of an interesting classic setup with some WRRS mini bells!
https://www.google.com/maps/@43.1872832 ... 6656?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@43.1877622 ... 6656?hl=en
-------------------------
Classic cantilever!
https://www.google.com/maps/@43.2198158 ... 1664?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@43.219921, ... 1664?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@43.219921, ... 1664?hl=en

Sadly, it is gone.
https://www.google.com/maps/@43.2198007 ... 6656?hl=en
-------------------------
Kind of an interesting way to do sidelights, I thought they were cabsignals at first, although they probably can be used as cab signals even though I don't think that was their intention.

https://www.google.com/maps/@43.2242306 ... 6656?hl=en

Here is another signal with the same setup.
https://www.google.com/maps/@43.2265372 ... 6656?hl=en
-------------------------
Classic signal!
https://www.google.com/maps/@43.226688, ... 6656?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@43.2266879 ... 6656?hl=en
-------------------------
Interesting.....
https://www.google.com/maps/@43.2174774 ... 6656?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@43.2176578 ... 6656?hl=en
-------------------------
Kind of odd.

*Four* mini-bells there! :Ohmy: Some one needs to record that crossing! :TUP2:
I think I've posted that before. Either way, I will be checking that out later today. :TUP2:
They/Them for me, please.

Ran out of time before I could get to it, so I'll have to go back later.

I think that one may have rolled off the American printer with the Canadian stamping. :Tongue1:

That type of track sign is featured in the extras page.

Looked like it at first. I think this is actually a video of the crossing then:

Active crossing in York, PA:
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.9619555 ... 1?hl=en-US

Check this one out... a folding gate! The only reason I can think of is because of the length? There does not appear to be any clearance issues...
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.9478257 ... 1?hl=en-US
It was a standard gate with a pogo stick back in 2012:
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.9478621 ... 1?hl=en-US

Lex-C's for side lights on this one signal. The other signal has them on both sides:
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.9491224 ... 1?hl=en-US

A pretty long cantilever with only 1 set of lights on it...
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.9666545 ... 1?hl=en-US

Interesting upgrade...
Old: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.9668448 ... 1?hl=en-US
New: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.9668192 ... 1?hl=en-US

One signal wonder: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.9646548 ... 1?hl=en-US

Moving to Victor, NY. Almost a full Lex-C crossing, except for 1 light on the opposite signal:
https://www.google.com/maps/place/32+Sc ... 1?hl=en-US

Same exact thing the next crossing over... believe it or not. :Roll:
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.9810613 ... 1?hl=en-US

Check out the faded crossbuck: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.9948604 ... 1?hl=en-US
The reason for the EXEMPT status: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.9949205 ... 1?hl=en-US
Although, there are some cars parked down the way, and it does still have power. :Confused:

I don't think that I've seen a crossbuck faded that badly before! Pretty interesting cab signal there too.
