Found this setup in Henderson, Nevada. Not much track left but signals (partly) remain:

Interesting... so the trackage on one side of the crossing belongs to the Nevada RR Museum, while UPRR hung onto the trackage to the other direction?

This line in Tasmania looks to be out of service.

Tracks look pretty rusty as well.

Found another in South Australia.

The signs at the crossing were still there in 2008.
https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-33.963 ... 328!8i1664
Another passive crossing (this one's at a roundabout!)
https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-33.963 ... 328!8i1664
Further up the line.

At least those "Look For Trains" signs make more sense than the old "Look Out For The Cars" signs that used to be all around Florida.

LOL... the stop on red signal sign on 2 of those. Ummm... what red signal?

What appears to be a rather recently abandoned crossing in St. Thomas, ON:

There were other crossings with signals, but it looks like this one was preserved because of the tower located right here:

Here are some of the other crossings, some of which have more Griswold & Transport Products Corp./RACO installs:

This one used WRRS signals:

An old block signal that was still standing along the line:

It looks like this may have been a part of the CN CASO Sub.

This spur line in Somerton, Victoria looks to be abandoned.

Streeview from 2007 & 2010 still shows the line to be somewhat active (I think).

Before the line to Epping was extended to South Morang in 2012, the track at the Cooper Street level crossing was still easily visible. The line use to run all the way to Whittlesea, but was closed in the late 50's.

The old Epping Station (which was rebuilt as part of the extension) with a train stationary.

The track ends shortly after the crossing.

Remains of an old rail overpass over Stratford-Maffra Rd which carried the Maffra rail line over it.

Maffra Train Station.

Some remains of the former Orbost line.
The line is active up to Bairnsdale for V/Line passenger trains.
An old watertower and overgrown track. (Sadly, when street view came through the second time, it had all been ripped up and replaced with a car park )

You can barely make out the tracks in the road at these crossings.

Oh my goodness, that whole intersection looks nothing like that now.
