Since my last post, I have 2 additional crossings that are considered my favorites as well.

Metairie Rd, Metairie, LA
The reason I like this particular crossing is because of it being a 4-quadrant crossing, and how it was activated when a train passes by.

Dauphine St & Poland Ave, New Orleans, LA
I have mentioned a couple of times about this crossing, it's just the complete oddity of this crossing is why I love this crossing.

Yep, 12x20" WABCO lights! They're pretty rare around here, actually.
Not to mention the US&S mechanical bell! It's also nicely paired with a GS Type 1.
The US&S mechanical bell got replaced with an NEG bell. :aaargh:

Proud owner of too many things.

GE B40-8W's are the best. Well, uh, maybe with some exceptions...?

Probably the Route 23&38 crossing in DeKalb IL.
It’s the only crossing in the state of Illinois that two highways and a railroad cross at the same place.

The crossing on google maps. Unfortunately the signals are replaced now. More info found in the Dekalb signal replacements post in Crossing signal news

Check out my Roblox group called Railroad Town Replicators. We have games based in real world towns and we primary make signals. And no I’m not asking for R$ or likes. The one who is too interested in railroad crossing signals but you can’t be too intrested.
