Toms River crossing update?

Post by LARDLOGO »

I was browsing the RRPicturesArchive site when I noticed some new photos of the State Route 37 xing. Apparently the old WRRS lights are now Safetran LED's, it could be a possible sign of life or just a worthless upgrade

Side note, the bell is a RACO mechanical to clear things up and the tracks wont come back anytime soon, but still interesting at the least.

I presume these are the massive cantilevers in that picture?

If so, that is quite a few lights that had to be upgraded... and a huge waste of someone's money if the tracks are defunct! :TDOWN:

Someone needs to reuse the signals at xings in need.

In New Jersey they'll just leave it to rot that's all they'll do. This crossing in Lambertville, NJ has been here for years. Maybe decades and they'll have an easier chance to remove it since NJ-29 isn't the most used state route:https://maps.google.com/maps?q=River+Ro ... 8,,0,-3.64

Not to go off subject... but those are some funky looking streetlight poles. http://goo.gl/maps/u8zfh
