It seems the street-view driver decided to get up-close and personal with the GP40-2 on this train:

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Street view caught another NS local freight going through this crossing in Douglasville, GA, back in 2019:

CSX signal maintainers out in Braden, TN. Looks like they were replacing a gate arm:

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
This is an unusual set-up:

Per older imagery, it replaced a pair of gateless cantilevers. No idea why UP chose to install the gates on the median signals rather than the shoulder signals though.

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
Certainly don't have to worry about hitting overhead lines. Although it might be smart to install some small crash barriers in front of the median signals.freebrickproductions wrote: Thu Jun 19, 2025 12:51 pm This is an unusual set-up:
