Kind of an odd crossbuck in Bowerston, Ohio.

The other one is double sided which is unusual in Ohio.

This signal in Bolivar, Ohio looks a bit weird.

I think this is a defect detector next to the crossing.

He also had a video of those signals in 2012 not long before he moved to Florida.

And before the gate mechs and bells were replaced...

Kind of unusual signals in Denville, New Jersey.

Do you mean unusual? Those are just newly-installed gateless signals.

Yep. I meant unusual.

This signal has two bells on it! An m-bell on top and an e-bell on the side.

A nice classic crossing.

WCH mechanical bell on top, and it doesn't work based on videos I've seen of the crossing. The working bell on the side is the replacement NEG e-bell. I've also posted that crossing in the past.

A nice old L&N install at that.

Further north, you've got this bell-less L&N install with (according to a local railfan up there) WRRS and MI 8 inch lights:

And a bit further to the north is this classic gateless L&N 8 inch install with a Safetran mechanical bell:

I really need to get up to all of those crossings... The CSX Henderson Sub has some great equipment.
