45 degree crossbuck in Putney, Vermont. I wonder if it is being used as an advance warning sign?

Hard to say unless we have older photographs right there or know someone who knows that area.

Found a Mexican version of the ''1 tracks'' sign!

Gate mecanism facing the wrong direction

Why does most of mexican crossings seems non-functional or disabled? Whats the purpose of buying gated signals if you don't use them???

Kind of an interesting signal in Newfane, New York.

These crossbucks are kind of in bad shape.

Kind of an interesting setup in Windsor Locks, Connecticut. That is the town with the Connecticut Trolley Museum which has the very old wishbone gates.

Both of these lights are missing their visors!
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.9292663 ... 6656?hl=en

Back in 2007 only the left light was missing its visor.

The other one went missing sometime between 2007 and 2012. I wonder if they still don't have visors?

This light must get hit a lot!

Here is a view of the light when its been fixed.

Actually, I want to say that's the town just west of the CT Trolley Museum. Also, that appears to be a shortline, so monetary reasons are probably why the visors weren't fixed.

That might be the same reason as to why they haven't tried to prevent the lights on that one signal from being hit.

This signal in Enfield, Connecticut is kind of far from the road.

Railroad preemption that has been left to rot since the crossing got upgraded.

They were kind of far from the intersection, maybe that is why they got rid of them. Maybe when they were first installed the road was mush busier and the intersection would get backed up passed the crossing.
