With cast-iron crossbucks too!

Looks like those signals have both cast-iron crossbucks, inverted 2 tracks signs, and the remains of some GRS Semaphore gate mechs on them! I have to wonder if the line is out of service due to the state of those gate mechs...

A US&S/WABCO Model 75 gate mech. The SCL and SBD appear to have been big users of them (at least for a little bit in the SBD's case).

Looked like a Safetran Model 95 or whatever you called it, it looked similar compared to the usual WABCO gate mechs.

Hmmmm...

Those have been posted here time and time again, my friend

Also, it's the Billups-Neon signal. Not "stop-DEATH-stop"

Defunct crossing?

Not sure why, but sections of these Siemens gate mechanisms are painted orange.

Interesting... They must have kept this crossbuck from when the crossing(s) was passive, not sure why they would do that.
https://www.google.com/maps/@31.2168664 ... 6656?hl=en

And for some reason those two crossing have double crossbucks! Just like they do in lower New England.
https://www.google.com/maps/@31.2169304 ... 6656?hl=en

There is also another crossing in town with double crossbucks.

Kind of odd I guess...
