It's for the trail...

Well the trail doesn't directly go over the tracks so it confused me.

Here's a bit of an unusual signal:

The sign in front of the signal was installed later, so I'm not entirely sure it was done like this. May have had something to do with that parking lot nearby though:

Also, the signals were installed in 2012, according to street view, replacing a pair of crossbucks:

Nice find! The reason why this crossing was upgraded because CSX added a second track, so instead of moving the signals, they replaced everything. I think I'll get out to these crossings.

This crossing next door is active as well:
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.2639178 ... 312!8i6656

Again, upgraded too:

Active crossing that is now closed:
