Pretty cool switcher there! Looks like that it could be from a class 2 or 3 railroad.

Wonder if it got vandalized or if it was knocked around?

Looks like the signal got clipped by a passing vehicle.

I remember watching this guy's video's long before I moved here. I may have to do a "drive by" as well. I think at one time he had the Griswold's wired up to a motion detector, so that could by why Google got a few active shots.

He's had videos too? That I didn't know about! :Blink:
