An overview of the crossing looking east.
Looking west. Note the angled lights for traffic on Fort Howard Avenue.
Rear closeup of the eastbound cantilever. Note the dual crossbucks.

 

De Pere is located just a few miles south of Green Bay on the CN GB mainline. This crossing has newer Safetran cantilevers similar to one of their 1980s models, but with mountings on the back for a secondary mast to hold the gate and rear lights (and an extra crossbuck in this case). The lights are 12" x 24" Safetran with ball L.E.D.s, and there is a General Signals Type 2 electronic bell on top of the westbound cantilever.
