Unusual setup in St catharines, ontario

Post by Thebrantfordrailfan »

At first glance this looks like your typical setup, but upon closer inspection you will notice that one lane has a gated signal yet the other lane has a simpler signal with only flashing lights. no idea why. https://www.google.com/maps/@43.1400419 ... 312!8i6656

Probably because the one gate lowers when there's a train at the crossing just up the street:
