They may have removed the lights before the line was abandoned.

This has nothing to do with the crossing but look at this old traffic signal right next to the crossing! https://www.google.com/maps/@41.502627, ... 2YJAaQ!2e0

Considering that most of the signals along the former line had lights, that's my thought as well.

Came across this one outside of Atlanta today: https://www.google.com/maps/@33.597123, ... g8WUgQ!2e0. Looks like Google caught a track observation train as well.

Looking at older street view images, the Safetran Type-2 there appears to have replaced a GS E-bell. Reminds me of a couple of crossings in Athens.

Do you have a link to that? All I see is 2012 imagery.

This is the closest you can get to the signal in the older imagery, which is from 2007:

What the heck...when I viewed the street view image from that angle, it only gave me the option for 2012
