Google Maps Scavenger Hunt

A very classic, but strange, crossing:

The bell is mounted on its own mast in the middle of the crossing:

This was the view that I saw when I first looked at the crossing on street view. I thought it was a mixture of a one-signal-wonder and a bell-only crossing! But then I discovered the third signal...

What the heck!? That is so weird! I wonder what the story behind that setup was.

This bell was left open!

That bell was open in 2013!

Active crossing:

Pretty cool how there are new gated signals but the classic cantilever signals remained!

There are also "1 TRACK" signs.

I believe those have been posted here in the past, albeit a very long time ago.

There use to be a no turn signal for that crossing.

And that signal is rendered useless while the train is crossing.

Reminds me of this crossing on the CSX River Line in New Jersey:

The signal with the bell also used to have a pair of side lights on it as well, but you can clearly see which pair they decided to keep.

What's worse right there is how the lights were just removed and only removed instead of being part of an upgrade process.

Out of service, since the track is cut off.
