Looks like there is rail museum there, they probably put that crossbuck there just for decoration.

I did not see the museum that answers the my question of why it was installed.

That is the main working space for the 2926 project. The group is restoring a former ATSF Northern there.

Classic signals in Arlington, Vermont.

These signals with split crossbucks are pretty rusty.

This crossing was downgraded from being a gated crossing to just a signalized crossing without gates. The gate mechanisms are WRRS semaphore gate mechanism!

Interesting signage at a private crossing in Rutland, Vermont.

Kind of an interesting place for a crossing too.

There use to be crossing lights on this traffic signal mast.

These were replaced by a mast signal. Although it could be possible that the lights on the new signal are the same lights that were on the traffic signal mast.

what makes these so great is that not also are they complete but they're the only ones in the San Jose area to my knowledge.

Those are actually Griswold signals, Griswold Type B lights, and Griswold bells!

Though the second crossing has a set of Safetran 8 inch lights on the mast of one of them, it appears.

I can't imagine that those are in service.

These are also probably out of service.

The rails are pretty rusty, though someone's keeping the the line clear of weeds!

It's a little hard to tell. Several parts of the line seem more silver than others, and plus most of the signals on the line are in better shape than those two in particular. And like David said, the weeds are being taken care of. My guess that it is just a very infrequently used line.
