I saw a couple of these today. I guess there used to be a road crossing the tracks here.
Day 77
The ghost of a railroad crossing
June 11th, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
You know that sign has been there quite a while to have the color washed out of it.
Great shot, and I appreciate how you got both signs in the photo. The wavy grass, the big sky, and the color of it at the time, adds to the ghostly, lonely feeling of this spot.
If you listen closely, you can almost hear the train whistle down the line.
You are in ghostbusters territory. I suspect it was not a road at all….just put there by the RR so the meandering animals would look before they crossed the tracks.
Nice photo as always.
The stop sign is probably for snowmobiles. Did you see any trail markers?
