Mythbusters...
Posted: Sun Mar 13, 2011 2:53 pm
Anyone else watch Mythbusters and then when you see scenes where there are railroad tracks in the area, kind of look around to see if there are any interesting crossings nearby on StreetView?
I'm watching the see-saw myth with the girl getting launched by the skydiver... they're working at the Mare Island Naval Station... and looking around, came across this unique cantilever setup on Streetview! I wonder if the line gets any use anymore...
EDIT:
Hmm... there are setups picture a block or two away from here that look brand new... but follow the line a mile or so further, and all the crossings have had the gates removed.
