This is part of the NS Crescent Corridor. But look at that lashup.

Active crossing:

Pretty unique sign:

The whole crossing has a rather massive set-up:

That wasn't the only train they caught there either: :Wink:

Going back a good bit along the road, you can see the crossing deactivating for the train after it had passed:

And even farther back, you can see the engine going through the crossing:

Even the traffic lights at that intersection are a bit odd. Have never seen cantilevered lightheads mounted sideways and above the bar like like that.

So CSX replaced some Vader signals over in Decatur with... more Vader signals?

Kind of a unique crossing: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.744554, ... !2e0?hl=en

This is kind odd, not only is this post unusually short for a stop sign-crossbuck combination, it also has a buckeye crossbuck: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.784047, ... !2e0?hl=en

And even more odd, the same crossing also has a full buckeye crossbuck setup with what looks like a stop sign attached to it, and looking at it closer, it maybe even a advanced warning sign!: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.784047, ... !2e0?hl=en
-----------------------------
Why is this here?: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.800235, ... !2e0?hl=en
Some other gated crossing have it too.
-----------------------------
These are two cool crossings, this is in a quite rural area so the buckeye crossbucks haven't been removed yet, not to mention the two old cabooses and the old switcher that are stored here: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.867704, ... !2e0?hl=en
-----------------------------

Some scenic crossings: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.88024,- ... !2e0?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@39.894695, ... !2e0?hl=en
-----------------------------
This is just weird: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.903085, ... !2e0?hl=en

-----------------------------

Odd setup, I love those incandescent traffic signals :TUP2: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.912478, ... !2e0?hl=en

Replaced the word with what you were looking for. "Indecent traffic signals" implies something completely different.
-----------------------------

Another scenic crossing (as you can tell, that is a common reacquiring theme in my posts): https://www.google.com/maps/@39.929236, ... !2e0?hl=en

Fixed the link for ya.
-----------------------------

First time I've seen a sign like that,maybe this line use to be abandon?: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.916319, ... !2e0?hl=en

-----------------------------

Some nice old signals: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.925548, ... !2e0?hl=en

-----------------------------

Scenic crossing with old signals: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.936618, ... !2e0?hl=en

Did you notice the bells on those crossings? :Wink:

Quite a few Safetran Type 1s along that line. That'd be a pretty neat line to have on the site.

They did that so drivers could see the lights around the utility pole there.

I thought it was unusual to see those Associated Signal Bell, I thought for a moment that I've never really seen to many crossings with them, but it did not come to my mind that they were rare.
