I'm not 100% sure but there was an image somewhere of the crossing that showed the Ped gate had been removed.

Independence Rd. in Cleveland looks like a very interesting place to railfan, with all the A-gates and multiple diamonds with tracks going every which way!

(Slightly off-topic) Near one of those wishbone gates, there appears to be a gateless crossing which has a "Stop on Red Signal" placard AND something that looks suspiciously like a US&S 0333...

Yeah, conraildash8 had mentioned that it appears to be positioned to warn of opposing train traffic crossing the diamond. Unlikely, but it sure looks like it was set up that way! :Laugh:

That's not an A-Gate. It's just StreetView messing up the panorama.

Those are some long pedestrian gates at that crossing. A new one for me...
