Columbia Avenue has sadly since been replaced, but I was able to record both of them (prior to the one being replaced) last year when I was up in New Jersey, along with getting photos of both for the site.
They/Them for me, please.

Sadly these have been replaced with all US&S equipment (along with all of the other crossings in Fairfield)

That part of the lower road is still in service. Goldstar and Cives still take shipments by rail.
The lower road goes OOS from this crossing: https://www.google.com/maps/@44.3595012 ... 312!8i6656
To this crossing: https://www.google.com/maps/@43.912048, ... 312!8i6656
(yes the river road crossing with the LEDs and E-bells is OOS)

Scranton, PA (I assume this crossing recieved a butchering modernization in the 1980's)

Same for this crossing as well, but one bell has since been replaced by a larger mechanical bell. (WCH)
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.439484, ... 312!8i6656

In 2008, this crossing did retain WRRS lights.
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.441369, ... 328!8i1664
However by 2012 the railroad had replaced them with WCH 12x20's with LEDs. :TDOWN:

Some around Archbald, PA (though these images are 11 years old, so i doubt the signals are still there)
