Bummer, at least streetview got to it before it was closed.
It'd suck to live right next to that crossing!

This crossing was closed but one of the signals still remains!

Had a brother on the other side back in 2009:

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!

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.

It'd cost more to remove that from every single maintainer truck than it would just to leave them on, you know...

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. :LOL3:

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.

That bell could be a WCH/WRRS motor bell, though i'm uncertain. Somethings poking out from the back, which has got me curious.
