Interesting cantilever in Roderfield WV... https://www.google.com/maps/@37.447597, ... !1e1?hl=en

Street view pics are pretty crappy, but here is a much better one posted on RailPictures: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.p ... 37&nseq=51

These signals must have been cantilever signals at one point. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.655426, ... !2e0?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@41.655549, ... !2e0?hl=en

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

Not crossing related but this is one of the strangest effects of putting imagines together that I have found in Google Streetview. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.232037, ... !2e0?hl=en

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

Also not crossing related but this is a cool railroad bridge! Not to mention how it also goes over another railroad track! That would be a cool place to railfan. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.236879, ... !2e0?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@41.237388, ... !2e0?hl=en

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

Now this is what I call a good combination, some nice 8'' signals in a beautiful rural forest area! https://www.google.com/maps/@41.095827, ... !2e0?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@41.095751, ... !2e0?hl=en

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

This is a cool crossing with some cool vintage traffic signals! https://www.google.com/maps/@41.935417, ... !2e0?hl=en

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

The relay cabinet has this orange light, kind of odd. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.95037,- ... !2e0?hl=en

Here are some GRS Lex-C 12 inch lights in Shepherd, Michigan!. https://www.google.com/maps/@43.524334, ... !2e0?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@43.524332, ... !2e0?hl=en

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

Teardrop Bell! https://www.google.com/maps/@43.604466, ... !2e0?hl=en

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

Three WRRS Mini bells at one crossing! https://www.google.com/maps/@43.819832, ... !2e0?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@43.819832, ... !2e0?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@43.819975, ... !2e0?hl=en

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

This is not the kind of place you would expect to see a railroad crossing. https://www.google.com/maps/@43.814263, ... !2e0?hl=en

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

This abandon crossing is pretty cool. https://www.google.com/maps/@43.82604,- ... !2e0?hl=en

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

Kind of a freaky looking signal. https://www.google.com/maps/@44.107545, ... !2e0?hl=en

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

This is kind of odd. https://www.google.com/maps/@44.246034, ... !2e0?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/@44.246034, ... !2e0?hl=en

Did you notice the US&S Teardrop bell there?
https://www.google.com/maps/@43.524332, ... !2e0?hl=en

Something even more odd is that crossing's also on the site, but it didn't have the GRS Lex-Cs when the pictures were taken back in 2005.

Already on the site:

It appears that they've replaced the lights sadly though.
Already on the site as well, but it appears that the lights were replaced here as well:

Those are just regular WCH mechanical bells.

That is weird, maybe they were the only replacement lights they had.

This is a cool 4-way crossing. https://www.google.com/maps/@43.829706, ... !2e0?hl=en

Crossbucks about to be replaced by signals. https://www.google.com/maps/@44.578646, ... !2e0?hl=en
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've seen mini stop signs and other mini signs to trails and paths, but I've never seen mini crossbucks! https://www.google.com/maps/@44.57859,- ... !2e0?hl=en

Looks like a redneck install there, as it doesn't even appear to have the mounting base!

That could go in the Tracks Out of Service thread, since that is a dead line as it turns into a rail trail if you head west.
