This was taken on South Hummell St. in Denham Springs, Louisiana.
This happens to be a one-way street heading northbound
The tracks is a line owned by CN

The lights are 12" x 20" with somekind of L.E.D, but don't remember what it was again
The bells are a Safetran type 2 e-bells
The gates are also from Safetran

How did you get the photo from Flickr? I have an account and it just shows the photo icon instead of the photo...

Ahh :Censored: Flickr's problems here's the photo... Amtrak Cascade's rare double header waits to depart, the signal has all safetran equipment...

Here's mine. Gated NS crossing in Streator, IL with no bells, but with newer gate striping. Also of note, 2 women went around the gates and I got it on my video camera (which you can see) and it's on Youtube here.

Skip to 3:02 to see the dumb move.

Looks like they missed the tip of the gate on the opposite signal. :Tongue2:
