Pleasanton, CA on a UP Mainline! Street View image still shows the crossing having 8" lights, videos show the updated crossing with 12x24 LED's, but the teardrop remained in place.

Unfortuately, this recent video shows that it has gone dead :Cry1:

Wow... that gate on the other side sticks out pretty far (due to the power lines). I wonder how many times it has been whacked by a truck or other large vehicle? :LOL4:

Looks like all US&S 8" Lights, too! Looks a bit worse for wear, though...

Plus, has anyone mentioned 30th Street in Santa Cruz yet? Both sides Teardrop-equipped, along with split crossbucks and HC81 flashers: https://maps.google.com/?ll=36.967415,- ... 93,,0,9.23
