I'm a part of a small group of railroad crossing signal enthusiasts who run a site that seeks to document railroad crossing signals and their equipment across the US and elsewhere. The site's been around since the 90s and was originally made by an enthusiast named Mike Hickok. He sadly passed away in 2011, so we keep the site and forum alive in his memory. The site's Canada section hadn't been updated since 2007 until I began documenting signals myself over a year ago, and it now has over 1200 pictures from 53 different crossings that I've documented. I'm proud of that, and I hope to get some more soon.

And I thought some of my interests like amateur radio and telemetry were niche...
My interests are outdoor warning sirens, railroad crossing signals and trains. The first two are very niche indeed lol.
How dare you mention this without linking!
