Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

I thought that this crossing was unguarded until I noticed where the crossbucks were, kind of strange.

One side of the crossing had the crossbuck lower on the pole.

While the other side had a crossbuck with its own post and "TWO TRACKS" but it wasn't facing the road!

There is also a highrail truck down the tracks!

Guess ya can't say you weren't warned.

That looks to just be a scale signal there. Wonder why it's flashing if nothing else is going through?

Active crossing (and yes, I know this is on the site):

That crossing could have been signalized at one point many years ago.

Not sure when the satellite picture was taken, but it looks like here that there are signals.

Very! I understand why they had to do it that way... really no other option. But, they could have made the cantilever a little longer and angled it so it was more in the middle of the crossing instead of off to the side.

They did a better job on this one:

Any why nothing at all on this one? They could have at least put some side lights on the signal across the tracks...
