Not really abandoned, probably just taken out of service, as it has new blue DOT tags and an NEG e-bell on one of the signals. In fact, the grass was cut along the line recently.
That crossing has pedestrian gates. That is kind of unusual for Florida. The crossings with sidewalks that Brightline will operate over have had pedestrian gates added to them.
Guess you've never seen the equipment in downtown Tampa?
Course I've never been to Tampa, my trip to America is 3 and a half weeks away. At least thanks to Alan Smith i would see what the equipment in downtown Tampa is. Lights and bells attached to traffic signals with a track that runs down the middle of the street that is used by CSX for their so called street running service. But theres no chance of me getting to Tampa. Orlando it is.
