Marion is a goldmine for older crossing signal equipment. However, CSX is upgrading 8 of their crossings in town, so these won't be too much longer for the world
You ain't kidding.
Here's an interesting old design (as of August 2013), but this one has a split crossbuck.

Very Interesting set of Crossings here, evidently they used to be equipped with A-Frame Barriers! https://www.google.com/maps/@40.5906429 ... 90P_pA!2e0 The Grade Crossing down the road has GRS-WRRS Gate Mechanisms working as pedestrian gates. https://www.google.com/maps/@40.5899984 ... 312!8i6656 How come this crossing has pedestrian gates, but no road gates?

Those have been posted here before. That is pretty odd that that crossing only has pedestrian gates, I know there is a crossing somewhere in Northern New England that also has pedestrian gates without road gates but it's a different setup as it has just two mast signals and two pedestrian gates.

Because automobile traffic takes the overpass

The road isn't closed to traffic as streetview went on it.

This crossing nearby has road gates even though it is on the same road.

Cateye crossbuck in Taneytown, Maryland. Kind of weird seeing one on a private crossing, almost looks like the pole it is on used to be a signal, too hard to tell though.

Those would be Boeing equipment cars. They haul airplane parts up Japanese gulch to Paine Field where Boeing makes widebody jets
