NOTE: THE LATEST FRA RECORD IS BACK FROM 1995, WHICH REPORTS ONE WIGWAG IN EXISTING WITH NO CROSSING SIGNALS.

This is one of my favorite crossings. All the luscious greenery almost engulfs the crossings signals at the crossing (well, one of them anyway, picture 8 below).

 

Picture 4 faces West. There isn't much visibility to see a train coming. This crossing is one that really needs signals.

 

There's another mast flasher in picture 2 due to the poor visibility of the crossing ahead. All lights are 12"x20" incandescent with two mechanical bells.

 

Take a look at the "SPEED 25" sign in picture 4. This is Oregon's method for a "SPEED LIMIT 25" sign. The "SPEED LIMIT" signs are slowly starting to come to Oregon, but very slowly. The "SPEED" signs primarilly rule Oregon.

Facing East.

The mast flasher lights are WCH.
Three relay cases? One for each signal seems a little much?
The right signal is almost covered up. The left one is almost invisible due to shading.
