Yes... this is more common than you might think. Here are a few in my hometown.freebrickproductions wrote:The last two actually aren't too uncommon, but the are certainly less common than the "traditional cantilever + gate mech on separate mast" combo that you see in a lot of places.
These usually tend to be put in when there isn't enough room at the crossing to put a gate mech on a separate mast from what I've seen.
On this crossing, the newer one on the left used to look like the one on the right until it was knocked down about 5 years ago. In this case... just as brick said, there is not enough room for a separate gate mast due to the alley on each side of the track: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.78706,- ... 6656?hl=en
Here is another one just a few blocks down from the above: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.797234, ... 6656?hl=en. They had to modify the visors on this signal to keep them from getting hit by the gate... especially on windy days: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.797237, ... 6656?hl=en
And of course you have this model Safetran cantilever which I see quite a bit: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.819021, ... 6656?hl=en
