Both are most likely MI, as those are old L&N installs there.

just curious did the l&N own a lot of trackage in florida?

just wondering?

AFAIK, no. Most trackage in Florida was likely either the SAL or ACL, IIRC.

There's a few of those around, though they aren't common. I'm aware of a crossing near me with a pair of them, and another that had another pair of them.

What's this?

Quite unusual for a US&S canteliever to be in the middle of signals that BNSF installed around a decade ago.

Inverted two tracks sign!

A WCH E-Bell on a relay case.

Another crossing had this same modifcation, however when the relay case was upgraded the WCH E-Bell was mounted to the top of one of the signals.
