Crossing Signals on the Prototype

[doctorwayne]

Three tracks here,  with two crossbucks, plus a crossing watchman protecting the two tracks to the right, and another two crossbucks protecting the one track at left...



....while they're not all in the view here, this is the same area as viewed from track level (before the crossing watchman's shanty was built)...



Two tracks here, fairly close together, and while the crossbucks aren't all that visible in this aerial view, just the two protecting the two tracks...



...here's a better view, also taken before the crossing watchman's shanty was built...



...and with the watchman's shanty in place...



Five tracks here, protected by wig-wag signals, although I may add gates to the scene, too.  They'll be manually controlled from the elevated watchman's tower.....



The crossing at Indian Line is a mere one track, and also protected only by crossbucks...



...but some of the local motorists push their luck with eastbound trains, which are fighting both an uphill grade and the curve...and sometimes turn out to be not so lucky
