Google Maps Scavenger Hunt

Active crossing near Huntsville, looks to be a malfunction as I don't see any trains:

Active crossing in Canada:
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=53.19784 ... 5,,0,-0.53

Looks like there used to be a bell mounted on this signal:
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=53.19836 ... ,,3,-11.01

Some rather short classic crossing cantilevers:

I have to wonder why the mast lights on this signal are turned towards the tracks:

Crossing in the process of being upgraded:
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=36.41000 ... 3,,0,-0.94

I have to wonder what the extra pair of lights are for on this crossing. It reminds me of Anderson Street in Valley Head, AL.

Why is this crossbuck here?

Here's a rather odd sign.
The other side still shows what it used to be.

Streetview caught a pair of signal maintainers at this crossing. One of them is waving and the other is giving a rather obscene gesture.

4 gated signals at this crossing, with not one bell in sight. A true Conrail classic!

A semaphore!

Some very classic signals here!

One signal wonder.

Ex-Santa Fe engine.

Active crossing in rural Indiana:

...one of the gate lights has worked itself loose. There appears to be no train in sight and it looks like the google car drove around the gates:

Souderton, Pennsylvania. The bell on this signal has dislodged itself somehow: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.317707, ... D5Qw-w!2e0

And check this out... fairly certain that this picture from 1974 shows the same signal: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.p ... 72&nseq=66. Of course, it has been painted a few times, no longer has an "A" gate, and has newer lights. Appears it may have a different bell now also.

Nice to see the track signal still there too... although it is no longer in use.

These lights are a bit close:

Active crossings:
https://maps.google.com/maps?ll=36.8627 ... 45,,0,1.58

https://maps.google.com/maps?ll=36.8658 ... 12,,0,4.91
This crossing is also on the site, but the WCH m-bell has been replaced with a Safetran Type 3 since Kight took those pictures according to Streetview.

A rather interesting crossing:
https://maps.google.com/maps?ll=36.8593 ... .5,,0,0.23

7 track crossing:
https://maps.google.com/maps?ll=36.6428 ... 61,,0,2.22

Here's another odd crossing. It's a more modern CSX crossing with two bells, but one of the bells is on a gated signal and the other is on a gateless signal. I have to wonder how the bells operate here.

Check out the satellite view of this deep crossing: https://www.google.com/maps/place/33%C2 ... :0x0?hl=en. There is only one track... but due to the curve the signals are over 300 feet apart (more than a football field)!

There is Streetview, but it is old and grainy... the satellite view shows it much better.

Hmmm??? Could this be coming to the US one day? http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.p ... 25&nseq=15

I sure hope so!
