Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

Well recently streetview did a 2014 update in Antwerp, Ohio and from this update, I found out the old signals are nolonger there! I was really looking forward to heading down there someday to see this crossing even though the signals may not have worked.

Here are the old signals:

Here are more pictures of the classic signals: http://gradecrossings.puco.ohio.gov/ite ... ING&f9=ALL

Edit: The page that the link above links to no longer has images of the classic signals.

Looks like the new signals weren't even in service when street view came through!

Or the Maumee and Western Railroad just has not bothered to put them in service yet. The previous vintage signals to my knowledge did not work, the Maumee and Western Railroad is also know to not have good tracks but I heard that they are getting better. The Maumee and Western Railroad also had some other vintage signals that were in Napoleon,Ohio. The signals in Napoleon were discussed somewhere on the forum but I can not remember where. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.393562, ... !2e0?hl=en

It was a (I want to say recent) thread about them, I believe. I'll see if I can find it.

Since it's been awhile from that Streetview image... I wonder if those signals remained gateless or if motors were added later? All the new signals in Napoleon received gates.
