Active crossing (Impatient GSV driver)

Looks like the crossing might have activated while the driver was crossing. That short traffic signal at the crossing is pretty interesting.

Spot the difference, which signal does not belong?

??????

Its just a quad gate crossing due to it being in a quiet zone

No, one of the signals were a Griswold/Safetran EB signal.

Damn Norfolk Southern! Back at it again with the long bases!

GS Type 3?

This crossing looks to be getting grade separated.

US&S/WABCO? Cantilever?

Kalamazoo kinda does have a lot of gated signals.

I guess this crossing doesn't need a mechanical bell because of the crossing next to it. Unless both signals activate independently.

Old cantilevers.

Even more old cantilevers.

No, one of the signals were a Griswold/Safetran EB signal.

Why replace what is broken? The other side probably had an EM signal at one point that was knocked over and the other two were added to be up to quiet zone standards.

Classic signals in Ottawa, Kansas.

Wow. The streetviews of the area from 2008 look a bit odd.https://www.google.com/maps/@38.6303784 ... 1664?hl=en

That's actually Conrail's doing.

Isn't Conrail a subsidiary to NS though?

Back when those signals were installed it wasn't. It's also still it's own railroad company, but doesn't have any locomotives, IIRC.

It is also subsidiary of CSX.
