Yes I have.

In my area the Ann Arbor Railroad recently started using them. Now if the eastern Class 1s start using them that would be weird!

Holy cow, amazing find! I always thought that the only public narrow-gauge crossing in the country was this one in Imperial, CA!

The line that the three crossings above are located on just randomly ends so I'm not sure what this line in particular is for.

The first crossing in this post use to have classic 8'' signals.

Interesting...

I also think that this is the same railroad as the one that has some span-wire set-ups along it.

Yep, I remember when someone posted those here.

I thought those were in Drexel Hill, PA?

I think I've seen that as well. It has probably been sense replaced though.

Nope, I wasn't referring to those. I had thought the spanwire signals were in Drexel Hill but I guess not.

Unfortunately the old signal is long gone but the new setup looks pretty interesting though.
