Re: Locations of pre-red outline crossbucks
Nice find! I made some posts of some crossing in Sarnia yesterday. I wonder if those gates next to the crossing are for the crossing, they both use railroad crossing gate equipment but only one of them has an actual railroad crossing gate. It would be pretty odd to have one gate for each crossing like that though.SirKrunch wrote:Confederation Street

I get a kick out of the multilingual signs... and the interesting English translations.
