This is quite an unusual setup. There are 3 signals, with L.E.D. lights. The lights are weird though. These lights are 12"x24". Picture 4 shows a side angle, plus the traffic lights. The light closest has all L.E.D lights, including the arrows. In the background, you see the traffic light changing. The green light is L.E.D, while the red you see above is still incandecent |

Picture 5 shows the rear of the crossing. Pictures 6-8 were shot in the dark. Picture 6 shows that these signals were made by Safetran. Picture 7 shows a sticker in case a crossing gate hits any power lines when they go up. Since there aren't any around here, there is nothing written on them. |

The brown thing you see in picture 9 was is the remains of an older signal that used to exist here. It was likely taken out by one of the 13 accidents above. |

Picture 13 shows the crossbuck and gates light up when a flash has been exposed. Picture 14 shows something interesting. Both the yellow and green arrows haven't been on at the same time. The yellow arrow was pasted on. Both lights are L.E.D. Picture 15 is another view of the side signal. |

Pictures 16-18 show the crossing starting to activate. Picture 19 shows one of the lights lit up by the dotted L.E.Ds. The General Signals electronic bell in pictures 16-18 is the only one at this crossing. |

Picture 20 I think is a ball L.E.D. (L.E.D. in one light, not 200). Picture 21 is a post mounted onto a gate so that it doesn't go too low. This is used primarilly for long gates that may go down too fast and crash into the pavement.
Pictures 22 and 23 show the train going by. Note the traffic light protecting the crossing is staying red. Without a train coming by, it would be a green right turn arrow. The trains run about 60 MPH through here. |

The train is finished crossing, and the gates are going back up. |
