Re: Traffic Lights
I believe those are an Econolite polycarbonate signal.
FOUND IT! After doing some more digging after you called out the Econolite namebrand, I found two definite candidates. These are either GTE polycarbonate, or Eagle Mark IV signals, depending on how far the "bubbles" stick out in the back. The ...

Re: Please post complex crossings and signal arrangements.
I can kind of understand all the lights on the cantilever for the approach lanes from the south... since it's higher speed traffic that will approach the crossing and then the traffic signal, but I can't understand having three sets of lights on the cantilever plus two mast signals, plus back facing ...

Quiet Zone Signals
Okay.... this is something I've only recently begun to pay attention to...
