This may have been on here before... but I don't think so: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.p ... 61&nseq=65

I found it on Streetview as well: https://www.google.com/maps?ll=30.35871 ... 7&t=m&z=11

And on a different subject... check out the long left sided cantilever they put in at the crossing we are at in the above link. :huh: https://www.google.com/maps?ll=30.35864 ... 8&t=m&z=11

The railroad didn't really bother to aim lights that well for the road/intersection and left turning traffic. I would think at least putting an additional pair of lights on the cantilever and aimed to the left turning traffic would make sense. (Especially since the crossbuck on there is aimed in that direction.) :2cents:
