these might look out of service but from what i heard there not and that once or twice a year a club holds a steam excursion and they go past these tracks but i'm not completely sure.

sorry this isn't related to rotatable cantilevers but not anymore they do steam excursions

and the next crossing over has the steam train

Then you probably shouldn't've put it in this thread. Google Street View or Trains on Google Street View probably would've been a better fit for a thread for this post.

Also, on a slightly unrelated note, are you going to respond to the PM I sent you?

That crossing (and all those in the Portsmouth/Norfolk/Virginia Beach area) have been posted here countless times in the past.

Rather nice crossing there as well. Older WCH 12x20 inch lights, three mechanical bells (one WCH, one Safetran, and one WRRS?), WRRS cantilevers, and a Griswold/RACO cantilever as well. There's also a single Safetran 12x24 there.

Ok so what's with the one cantilever's lights having its backgrounds cut off for the arm right there but not the other?

Maybe to try and emulate the other side?

Or they realized when they were putting up that pair that they didn't have to cut down the backgrounds on the overhead lights.

(Also, with the positioning of the lights on the fourth cantilever, I can confirm that that's most likely a Griswold cantilever.)
