New thread idea: Locations of NS tall masts

:LOL3:
Is NS known for tall masts?
Very much so. I know David has posted quite a bit of those all throughout this thread.
If I may present another tall mast from NS

Did you notice this neon advance warning sign? :Blink:

Here are two pretty tall NS masts.

Yep, I noticed. They're not all too uncommon around here. Both streets at this intersection have one.

I did a little searching in the area and I came across this! :Blink: Hard to tell if that was intentional or not! :Confused:

Edit: Appears that some signal equipment is stored here next to the crossing above.

That's just a very new sign right there. Over time, it will turn into the yellow that we all know and love.

From this angle... it appears it may have had a teardrop as well. Hard to tell for sure though due to the fuzziness of the picture.

Might've been a WABCO bell. Doesn't look thick enough to be a Teardrop.
They/Them for me, please.

I'd bet that this crossing may have been previously out of service and reinstated.
