For this one, I think one can only speculate. Could be a multitude of reasons such as vandalism, mother nature, out of service, etc.

A more recent StreetView update from the other side of the road shows the signals have been upgraded, LED's now it appears, and the missing light has been replaced as well. Also, no more A frame gates or teardrop bell either.

They should've set-up some of those signals better.
Still pretty neat to see amusement parks using full-size crossing signal equipment!

Some miniature signals and even miniature buckeye crossbucks! I'm not sure what this place is. I just came across it on Google Maps.

I came across this place when following a railroad Line (I think CSX) from Upper Sandusky Ohio to Bucyrus Ohio on Google Maps. I'd like to find more about this place and visit it sometime.

Came across this odd setup in Wisconsin on Railpictures.net: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.p ... 3&nseq=113

I went to Streetview to get another look at them. Unfortunately, the Streetview images are old and fuzzy, but do show the extra cantilever and gate for the turn lane. It also shows that back in 2009 the main cantilevers had one set of 8 inchers on each side.

Looks like this signal was hit by someone:

Look what a stupid Fed Ex driver did at this crossing... his light is red so he was blocking the entire crossing waiting for a green.
