are these types of cantilevers rare?

Oh ok. The view is messed up when you're under the gate. Made it look to me like a broken wood gate. Looks like there used to be a center median signal on that approach too that was removed. (planned or by force who knows...)

Is the crossing from BTTF III on Street View?

From what I could find on the web, the train collision scene was shot in Port Hueneme, CA. Unfortunately only parts of that city are on Street View. I looked around as best I could, but could not find a crossing that looked like the one in the movie.

Actually I think that it is an old wooden gate that is busted. Take a look at this view:

Probably was busted by the same vehicle that took out the median signal!

The gate isn't busted. It's hinged...because there are power lines above...

[Crossingman18]

yeah its probably plexiglass or plastic

My bad... I understand now! The one on the left is me--->

The Street View images aren't doing it much justice though. And I still assume some idiot wiped out the median signal.

my dad remembered where they filmed it

I was wondering if that road was it or not. If that is the one, it has changed quite a bit since the filming. The signals in the movie had lights for a side road where Marty parks his 4x4 in the ending scene... I don't see any side lights on the one's above. Of course, the movie shows 8 inch lights also.

The gates were RACO Hydrolics too. The crossing has changed a lot since Back To The Future 3 days.

Thank you, sir.

As far the comments that it might not be the crossing, it matches closely the description given on the DVD commentary (yes I listen to those ). They said it was literally a football field from the ocean and that crossing is indeed very close to the beach.

Does anybody know Micheal J Fox's e-mail address? Maybe he could button things up for us!
