If they were... I don't remember seeing them. Don't recall ever seeing gates like that in operation in the US, so I for one and thankful it was posted! :TUP1:

In my defense... up until Tuesday I wasn't able to log in very much due to traveling over Christmas and New Years. Still haven't got through all the posts yet. :Tongue1:

Looks like it's been like that for a while too. Wonder why. :huh:

Came across this railroad themed restaurant in New York with a couple of display signals:

A little better view of the cantilever type signal in the second link above. The ped gate wasn't there in this photo: http://www.thefreighthouserestaurant.com/bldg.JPG
