ACL/SCL No right turn light.

Judging by the looks of the crossing equipment, it may no longer work.
Loose wire?

A crossing that was upgraded, but never had its old cantilevers removed.

ACL bridge that could do with some TLC.

Some classic signals in Holton, IN with some classic B&O PL signals next to the crossing!

https://www.google.com/maps/@39.0749715 ... 312!8i6656
One of the signals even has some GRS 8 inch lights on it!

An old B&O gateless signal in Osgood, IN with the original GRS 8 inch lights!
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1296395 ... 312!8i6656

Uh-oh!

Looks like a maintainer accidentally left this relay case open, with part of a crossbuck inside!
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1162046 ... 312!8i6656

Here's an odd little B&O cantilever signal:

https://www.google.com/maps/@39.094239, ... 312!8i6656

Here's a rather unique crossing:
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.0969746 ... 312!8i6656
Looks like it has since been closed though, but the signals may have gotten a new lease on life at another crossing right nearby:

Active crossing:

Another active crossing:

Train has an ES40DC leading an SD70MAC and a Dash-9:

Not to mention those old buildings located around the crossing. That would be a great place to railfan.
The extra signal there for the alley kinda looks interesting being almost in a grass field.

I had a feeling I had seen them before. Still worth posting the update about the last crossing though.

Looks like the remains of a code line being used for a power connection to the relay case.

Holy crap! Streetview caught the Sheboygan Wigwags in action! :Scared: :TUP2: Nice to know that these Wigwags are still there as of July.

There's someone taking pictures too. That would be pretty crazy to get active wigwags and the streetview car in the same shot!
