A couple of questions

So I got a few questions for crossing documentation and here are they.
1. For directions what do I do for a 4 signal mast setup? (Example: if I have 2 crossing signals on one side of the road and 2 on the other side of the tracks what do I do when making it?)
2. What do I do for bell only crossings?

Question

Did Safetran produce any pedestal style gates? I am not 100% sure, I am certain they did but probably not.

Re: Very interesting crossing



Based on the condition of the rails, I'm guessing the line is out of service. However, as the road wasn't paved over, the crossbuck was installed when the mast signal was knocked down so people (especially cyclists) would know where the rails are, and in the off-chance a train does have to go ...
