Nice find! Other than that bell only crossing in Ann Arbor, I don't think I've seen a teardrop at a crossing not on the signals.TheSignalMan2000 wrote:Here's a teardrop bell on top of a relay case on Arkansas St. near Alexandria, Louisiana.

Odd... I if it weren't for the diamond being removed I would think that it would be possible that that is just a very infrequently used line. Must have went out of service recently.Erik-Gorb-Hamilton wrote:TheSignalMan2000 wrote:Here's a teardrop bell on top of a relay case on Arkansas St. near Alexandria, Louisiana.

It looks like this line isn't used!
Farther up north We have a abandoned High Wide Detector and A STILL LIT DISTANT SIGNAL!
Odd considering the "diamond" doesn't exsist...
According to the FRA DOT form, this line is active, it has 2 trains going through this crossing per day (1 during the day and 1 during the night), and the FRA DOT form was out since August 17th, 2016. So, it's tough to say if the line is out of service, if it is, it would of went out of service sometime between 8/17/2016 to today.ToledoRailfan wrote:Odd...

The distant signal still being lit is from 2013, whereas the image with the halting sign is from 2016.Erik-Gorb-Hamilton wrote:TheSignalMan2000 wrote:Here's a teardrop bell on top of a relay case on Arkansas St. near Alexandria, Louisiana.
