Always neat when Google manages to catch a shortline crossing in action.

Unique cantilever signal on an NS coal spur at Freeburn Kentucky: https://www.google.com/maps/@37.5641326 ... 92!5m1!1e4

That signal honestly always reminds me of the one at 32nd Street in Birmingham, AL, TBH. I believe that one in Kentucky predates the one at 32nd Street though, and would've originally been installed by the N&W (whereas I think the one at 32nd Street was from the mid-90s?).

Nice to see it still retains a pair of its original 8 inch side lights!

This is one very lonely boxcar. I wonder how long it's been sitting there:

REALLY odd cantilever setup on a spur leading to Mare Island. The rails go through the middle of the drawbridge:

Looks like the trucks on it still have old "journal" bearings as well, so it'll've definitely been a very long time, that's for sure!

I think that's come-up a few times before, still a pretty bizarre one though.
