Re: Locations of pre-red outline crossbucks
Now how on earth do American crossbucks wind up in service in Canada?

Re: Locations of pre-red outline crossbucks
It is probably the same reason that Canadian crossbucks made it to the United States a couple times, a railroad would probably mix them up not knowing the difference. Although you would think that someone would notice.freebrickproductions wrote:Same reason Canadian 2 Tracks signs wound up in America.ZachL wrote:Now how on earth do American crossbucks wind up in service in Canada?

Again, some of them may have been made that way per the railroad's decision before they were standardized in the MUTCD.ToledoRailfan wrote:It is probably the same reason that Canadian crossbucks made it to the United States a couple times, a railroad would probably mix them up not knowing the difference.
