Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

Got some unfortunate news out of Orange County--all four US&S Teardrops which were in regular service have been replaced between June of 2014 and now. Both Nutwood and Fairview were overhauled and now use full Invensys / NEG systems, while Batavia got a 'targeted' bell replacement with the remainder of the crossing remaining.

Well that sucks.
I sure hope the one in Opelika, AL is still there when I go down there this year (hopefully).

The streetview links for Nutwood and Batavia are in this thread, circa 2012. Fairview predates that.
