Utility Poles for the LTTX flatcar

I just received my shipment of "utility poles" for my LTTX flatcars and they are looking great.

These are custom made to exactly represent 85' and 65' utility poles.  They are perfectly tapered and the correct diameter.

Is this a railroad crossing sign or something else?

I've been staring at this picture of Woodlands station (on the Putnam Division of the NYC) for about three days now trying to work out what that object on the left is:

Aerial Railfanning

So, I'm playing around with Google Photos.... and I found that Google has a lot more of my photos than I realized. Which is creepy, but ultimately a good thing. 

Back in 2003/04 (Google says Sept 2003, but... I know better) my father-in-law and I went aerial railfanning. At the time he owned a Cessna 172, which is a nice little bird for stooging around the sky at low altitude and low speed in.

Need help identifying an HOn3 locomotive

Hi all!
I need help identifying this HOn3 model:

I got it as is with a broken gearbox which is now being replaced with a new from NWSL.
What prototype does it have? And who made the model?
I'm going to repaint and decal it, so it would be nice to get it right.... :)
