All I have to say is.... :Drool:

Yes, that is a complete working pair of Griswold signals in 2012, almost 2013. :Drool: But... that's not all. There are... 4 other crossings in town with them!!! Here they all are on Streetview:

I wouldn't be surprised if this one had them at one time also: http://goo.gl/maps/iwUjr. The concrete bases on both signals looks to be the right size. And the relay box looks similar to the other crossings.

Nice find Cabman :TUP1:

But the problem is that the photos from Google maps are from 2008; things can change between 2008 to 2012.
Other than that, great find

Yup, Hibbing is well known as the Griswold capital of the world. Now someone just needs to take some videos of those before they're gone!

Found one (a recent video of some Hibbing Griswolds, that is)!
