Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

Nice to see a maintainer put some effort into cleaning up and fixing up a classic. Check out this awesome before and after on Streetview!

Fugly, F'd up
Fabulous!

Quite a difference there. Wonder how long it took to paint that cantilever?

OK... Let me try posting this to the right thread this time...

That reminds me, this may have been posted another time before... Can't remember. But go to the next crossing NW of there, and look where the bell was positioned between the two tracks. (Too bad the one is completely out of service)

In the first post at the top... I agree... nice job on that cantilever. Kind of surprised they have not moved it down further to the active track. That's a pretty bad placement for it right on that corner.

In the link for the 2nd crossing it looks like those signals were cleaned up and painted too. Compare this picture to this one. Also, do you notice anything missing?

I see the difference. HD view shows the side signal is gone, and the masts are silver now.

I dont think a train will be going on that first set of tracks behind the cantilever anytime soon...
