Those are GRS, not Griswold.

This crossing has some unknown 12x20 inch lights. Believe it or not, they used Canadian crossbucks! :Blink:
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.573888 ... 6656?hl=en

But by 2014, they were removed and replaced with cheap mechanically operated gates. :Awww:
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.573908 ... 6656?hl=en

Very strange crossing, i don't think its working, since theres a worker standing with a STOP/GO sign.
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.556455 ... 6656?hl=en

There were also another crossing with Canadian crossbucks. For some strange reason, there were mechanically operated gates too.
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.555957 ... 6656?hl=en

However, by 2014 all of the equipment was removed.

You should check out the posts that were made after your post before this one. :Wink: This has also happened to me before.

This crossing has GS Type 2 bells! Safetran (?) 12x20 inch lights, and US&S Model 95 gate mechanisms!
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.637691 ... 6656?hl=en

However, they were later removed and replaced with cheap manually operated gates. :Awww:
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.637687 ... 6656?hl=en

Whats this binbag for?
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.637687 ... 6656?hl=en

This is a very strange setup.
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.697480 ... 6656?hl=en

Judging by the sign, the crossing doesn't seem to be working.
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.697480 ... 6656?hl=en

Another strange setup, this crossing doesn't seem to be working too.
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.714216 ... 6656?hl=en

Same crossing, not working.
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.761843 ... 6656?hl=en

There is Canadian crossbucks on this crossing!
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.783381 ... 6656?hl=en

Quad gated setup.
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.813731 ... 6656?hl=en

This crossing actually works!
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.839667 ... 6656?hl=en

This manually operated crossing has a wigwag with a US&S/WABCO Teardrop bell, however it isn't working! :aaargh:
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.979821 ... 6656?hl=en

These lights are facing the wrong way!
https://www.google.com/maps/@-34.139205 ... 6656?hl=en

There must've been wigwags or something here once upon a time.
https://www.google.com/maps/@-34.200735 ... 6656?hl=en

This crossing has a modern pair of modern manually operated gates.
https://www.google.com/maps/@-34.536566 ... 6656?hl=en

This crossing has a sign informing people that crossing guards are not available between 22:20 PM and 6:00 AM
https://www.google.com/maps/@-34.5873,- ... 6656?hl=en

This sign on a manually operated crossing says that crossing guards aren't available between 23:00 PM and 7:00 AM
https://www.google.com/maps/@-34.692080 ... 6656?hl=en

More Canadian crossbucks!
https://www.google.com/maps/@-34.710572 ... 6656?hl=en

Active crossing with Canadian crossbucks.
https://www.google.com/maps/@-34.799910 ... 6656?hl=en

This crossings bases are a tad too long.

I wonder if that crossbuck means something different with that square sign in the middle than one without that square sign, strange enough.
