17 is the crossing ID tag. I hate this type of sign that you have to write the info on. They fade very easily. 18 shows the older DOT sign. 19 is a South view with Oak St. in the distance, while 20 is a North view. You can see the North signal in picture 20, basically the same. |

The 2 outside gates go down when ever there is a train on any of the 4 tracks. The relay cases are all wired to each other, so if one crossing is acitvated, the gates will go down.
