You think your car gets bad mileage? SP 4449 consumes 10 gallons of bunker oil and 100 gallons of water every mile.

Perhaps another advantage is if semis are traveling in the right lane, there is less chance of a gate hitting the trailer.

Re: Median Gates
It may also have been a 2 signal, gateless crossing. When it was up graded to 4 signals & gated, it was easiest & cheaper to do it this way.
