Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

There's this crossing on the border of California between Fremont and Union City with a rather jumpy sounding WCH Type 3 Generation 2 E-Bell.

Interesting setup!

Wonder if that was a 1-way street once upon a time?

The 8 inch lights the signals used to have seem to imply that as well:

I actually thought that it was a one way street before I turned the view, it wouldn't surprise me either if it was at one point.

Also, it seems that there are a lot of posts in this forum from Kokomo.

Wow... I was not expecting the train to come through that fast! Kind of odd to see that on such a "long" crossing. I also like this set of "side" lights:

Yes... the northern part of Indiana seems to have a plethora of interesting/odd/old signals. Especially the closer you get to the northwest... near Chicago.

I remember coming across an image on Flickr of a crossing with fail-safe signals. I looks for it on Google Streetview and I think I found it but the lights had been removed and the signals just looked like any other signals that have had their lights removed.

Indiana is definitely a great place for signals and I need to take a road trip there sometime, who knows what I'd find in areas where there is no streetview coverage.

Interesting pedestrian signals!

Active crossing in Minneapolis.
This is kind of an awkward sight!
