Either my eyes are messing with me, or I'm missing something somewhere... But I'd swear that one gate has three gate lights and the other three only have two...

And not much farther down the line, there's one that's active on satellite view!

Looking southwest, you can see the train that's activating it.

It's called Barton Ln. level crossing, and here's a video of it, beginning at 1:36:

Found a semaphore signal still active in Westfield, Massachusetts.

Good eye... I would have probably missed that. Except for the pole, it pretty much blends into the background scenary.

Here's an active one: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source= ... 43945&z=15

i just love how the street view guy busts through every crossing he sees active
that would be an intersting image of the car getting nailed by the train

Yeah... I was thinking the same thing myself. But... that train looked like it was quite a bit down the tracks. I'm sure other people (present company excluded) would have done it too.

Interesting pedestrian crossing on the mothballed NWP line in Nor Cal...

Kind of reminds me of the pedestrian signal setups in Oregon.
