Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Here's an interesting set-up, likely done for visibility reasons:
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.217753, ... 312!8i6656
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.2177671 ... 312!8i6656
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.2177256 ... 312!8i6656
Looks like the crossing is now closed though:
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.2178607 ... 312!8i6656
This crossing was closed but one of the signals still remains!
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.220327, ... 312!8i6656
Had a brother on the other side back in 2009:

https://www.google.com/maps/@39.220472, ... 312!8i6656
Relay case is still there as well, wonder if the remaining signal still works?

Bit of an interesting set-up at this crossing, again likely for visibility reasons:

https://www.google.com/maps/@39.2261869 ... 312!8i6656
This crossing has six e-bells!

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
I'm familiar with all of those! Unfortunately I didn't get to see the Elizabeth St. crossing with its signs up, and I've only known the Vorhees St. one to have one signal.freebrickproductions wrote:Here's an interesting set-up, likely done for visibility reasons:

I thought "Quality in Motion" was dropped more than a decade ago

It'd cost more to remove that from every single maintainer truck than it would just to leave them on, you know...NathanFromEngland wrote:I thought "Quality in Motion" was dropped more than a decade ago

Ex-Santa Fe engines too! Also, love how the G&W just slapped their P&W logo on the side like that instead of repainting the engine into the G&W's orange & black scheme.brett nc railfanner wrote:Active crossing in Portland, Oregon

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Here's a bit of an interesting set-up on the NS NA District:
https://www.google.com/maps/@33.9720873 ... 312!8i6656
https://www.google.com/maps/@33.9722859 ... 312!8i6656
Hopefully that mechanical bell on the relay case is still there. The NS NA District only see two trains a day, so if I go railfanning along it, I'm gonna be chasing a train down or up the line.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
That bell could be a WCH/WRRS motor bell, though i'm uncertain. Somethings poking out from the back, which has got me curious.freebrickproductions wrote:Here's a bit of an interesting set-up on the NS NA District:
