Active crossing in Oregon, Ohio. I've actually been over that crossing many times yet I've never seen it active.

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)

Train crossing a passive crossing on Weidman St near New Orleans, Louisiana

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.

There is an active crossing just behind the camera, just in case you haven't seen it.

LFE (though later ones were made by Mark IV and Siemens with no changes to the body).

And mid-flash on LEDs, which is quite the rarity there.

Closed off crossbuck crossing, i wonder if this is temporary or permanent?

Yet another crossbuck crossing in a eerie looking deserted town.
