The crossbucks on wooden posts are lying by the signal on the other side of the crossing.

17th Road in Dalton, WI has a bell only crossing. Unsure if there was ever a wig-wag here or not, but the base and mast of this bell are clearly from a wig-wag. Picture here on my Flickr. http://flic.kr/p/atHkkG

South Main Street APNC (Appanoose County Railroad) at 8:59. Nice sounding teardrop bell at this bell-only crossing.
Perminantly stopped at the railroad crossing of life...
