Nice, some 8" action on SunRail.

Active crossing in Hiram, GA:

Signal maintenance at a now closed crossing:

Some nice later SOU signals with a General Signals e-bell. Hopefully NS hasn't replaced the 8 inch lights here:

Looks like they have, sadly:

Between 2013 and 2015, though I'm not sure why it was closed, though it appears to be related to the construction of this nearby road:

There's a sign poking around here, and it does indicate the word "Closure" on it.

Here's an unusual light cluster.
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.7612099 ... 312!8i6656

Back in 2011, said signal had a WRRS mini-bell, until it was removed and the signal seen in the middle recieved a WCH E-Bell.

Wonder what this little signal could be for? Certainly unusual especially for a crossbuck crossing.
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.7638045 ... 312!8i6656

Unusual, but the bracket is because a power line blocks the signal.

You're parked a little too close to the tracks buddy.
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.790237, ... 312!8i6656

I also wonder if this nearby strobe light may have something to do with the crossing?
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.790237, ... 312!8i6656

Partially neglected 45 degree crossbuck.
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.8095433 ... 312!8i6656

Somewhat more neglected 45 degree crossbuck.

The smallest trestle in the U.S.?

Not the smallest/shortest though, in Chattanooga, TN, there is an incredibility short 6 foot bridge there:

A typical car could fit under that, at least!

What bell is this? (On a crossing in Brazil)
https://www.google.com/maps/@-29.677280 ... 312!8i6656

I'm also curious on these WABCO looking gate mechanisms.

These are most likely Brazilian-Made. They manufacture their own Signals over there.
