I wonder if they did that to prevent it from getting damaged.

Here's some at the Frank Buck Zoo in Gainesville, Texas.

Miniature signals protecting two 1 lane dirt roads.

Two signals at this crossing at the end of the line.

The above crossing is also featured on the site.

Looks like the signal has a 10" Wheelock Fire Alarm Bell (Same crossing as above)

End of the line along with another RXR/ Pedestrian sign.

City Park, New Orleans.

https://www.google.com/maps/@29.9870325 ... 6656?hl=en

Here is a signalized crossing. There are two signals due to the road being one-way.

https://www.google.com/maps/@29.9843226 ... 6656?hl=en

Here is a signalized crossing that isn't one-way.

https://www.google.com/maps/@29.9833915 ... 6656?hl=en

Another one-way signalized crossing but with one signal.
https://www.google.com/maps/@29.9846557 ... 6656?hl=en

This crossing has a gate-less signal!
https://www.google.com/maps/@29.9860376 ... 6656?hl=en

https://www.google.com/maps/@29.987172, ... 6656?hl=en

https://www.google.com/maps/@29.9879821 ... 6656?hl=en

https://www.google.com/maps/@29.9882419 ... 6656?hl=en

Some or all of the signalized crossings use to have just the crossbucks and stop signs. But I'm too lazy to post the streetviews of them here. :Roll: I think these are enough.

I actually got the New Orleans City Park on my to-do list in early 2018, to both take photos of and videos of these crossings.

Full normal signals on the Wales West Light Railway. Pretty cool seeing full normal signals (I don't know what else to call them) being used on a railroad crossing at a park/museum/resort environment.

https://www.google.com/maps/@30.50328,- ... 6656?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@30.5031729 ... 6656?hl=en

This crossing has just a crossbuck.
https://www.google.com/maps/@30.5030649 ... 6656?hl=en

There is also a little miniature 7.5 inch gauge railroad there. I wonder if the signals activate for it?

Of course that has to be on the other end of the state from me... :glare:
