Interesting how it was used by Iowa Traction Railway, I wonder if the railroad was electrified then. I don't think there are any more signaized crossings on the Iowa Traction Railroad.
Actually it's one you need to read about on the STB site. IATR never owned this line... it just kind of fell to them as the operator, even though they never operated over this trackage. https://www.stb.gov/Decisions/readingro ... enDocument
This is the crossing that all the hullabaloo was about.

I should've also mentioned, that Griswold crossing with the GM link i posted last night has a RRS mechanical bell.
Seems most RRS bells appear on defunct crossings.

I think I've stumbled across more RRS bells on active crossings than dead ones.

It happens to all of us.
Agreed.
And just throwing my out there... I don't think it hurts a bit to have things posted over again. Especially since some of these threads have been going on for 5 years + now. Yes, I know you can search for a specific post, but we have members that are brand new and can't possibly go through every single thing posted on here over the last 8 years. I doesn't hurt to re-visit things once in awhile.
Thought I would share this photo... it's off a Facebook page I follow. This signal is long gone, but was located on some tracks in Canada, just a little to the west of Niagara Falls. The tracks were pulled up sometime in the late 80's or early 90's according to the comments.

Those were used before they switched to the crossbucks just with the red outline, except in Quebec where bi-lingual crossbucks were used where one crossbuck piece would be in English while the other would be in French. I'm not sure if bi-lingual crossbucks were used in New Brunswick.
