A nice before and after... the first photo is from 1993:

Streetview picture from Nov 2015:

This crossing just up the way near the casino is a bit odd (but kind of scenic) due to the configuration of the roads:

Streetview 20 years later. The cantilever is different, but it's nice to see the steam engine still in it's same spot:

That's Massachusetts, not New Jersey.
Gate mast is also the same, with the same lights as well, though the bell and gate mech have been replaced.

What kind of train is that?!

Almost looks like a streetcar.

Kind of interesting to see an advance warning sign for the side street.
