Denneth Lee recalls riding his speeder over the line from Brunswick to Augusta (pictured on the cover of the January Iron Horse). Now that I recall, the background photos were taken on a road just off Route 24 (which parallels the track for several miles). Here are two views of the intersection where the photo was taken. (Denneth, I don't remember a church in the background, but I certainly accept your statement that "the odd thing about the crossing is [that] on the mast, you have a signal light for rail and signal lights for the road--the only place that most the motorcar group has seen that set-up.")

I'd be interested to know more about the train signal and how it is intended to operate. There is only one lens (so I don't think it changes color) Very Interesting!
It didn't look to me as if it had worked in years. The roadway also shows no signs that a train has crossed it in a long time. On the other hand, the rails didn't look terribly rusty. I'm not even sure what company owned the train line.
