The lights are 12x24" LEDs. Sometime between 2009 and 2013 they replaced two pairs of (single sided) 8" incandescent lights. 

The light brackets are made by L&W industries.

This crossing has a vintage US&S junction box!

The relay case. I wonder if the light mounted on the mast illuminates when the crossing is active?
