Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Active crossing in Oregon, Ohio. I've actually been over that crossing many times yet I've never seen it active.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
While scanning my area for crossings to travel to for 2018, I came across some crossings that are worth posting on here.
Active crossing on Rankin St, Jackson, Mississippi
(Note, the GSV ran the active crossing only because the crossing activated as soon as the GSV was just about to cross and had no time to stop)

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Kind of interesting side lights in Walhalla, North Dakota.

----------
This crossbuck in Canton City, North Dakota isn't a two piece crossbuck. Unusual for that part of the country.

Buckeye crossbuck setup. Which sadly no longer exists.

Whoops!

Odd crossing, IIRC this has been posted here before.

Safetran Hybrid!
https://www.google.com/maps/@33.4379586 ... 6656?hl=en
Closed off crossbuck crossing, i wonder if this is temporary or permanent?
https://www.google.com/maps/@33.4186142 ... 6656?hl=en
Yet another crossbuck crossing in a eerie looking deserted town.
