Here is a photograph of the RYG signal that I took in late July of 2015.
7 inch gate lights there! Nice!
I wonder if 7 inch gate lights are just as uncommon on movable bridge gates as they are on railroad crossings. It might because hard to know though sense movable bridges use a variety of gate types.
What in the...? Ain't that some sort of conflict there.
Reds aren't usually monitored by conflict monitors on older controllers, so the intersection wouldn't be dropped into flash.
Pennsylvania did this a lot in the past. The red ball indications basically mean that through traffic can't go, but the green arrows mean that you can turn right without having to stop, IIRC. It's basically like these doghouse signals here, only without having the yellow and green ball indications (though the one on the right had all green and yellow arrows with no ball indications other than the red): Siemens Traffic Lights by freebrickproductions, on Flickr
Not entirely sure on that though. I'll ask someone who know a bit more about the signals in ToledoRailfan's post and see what they say.
EDIT: Yep, I am correct.

What I don't understand though is why the red and green were active, yet there was no going straight and you could only turn right.

Maybe it was the standard configuration for protected right turn signals at the time in that region.
