Very much identical to this crossing in Tampa:
https://www.google.com/maps/@27.9741167 ... 312!8i6656

Only difference is that the one in Tampa has WRRS bells.

This crossing is protected by a "RAILROAD CROSSING STOP LOOK AND LISTEN" sign!

There use to be a crossbuck in its place.

There is nothing protecting the other side of the crossing.

Just curious... for some reason on your links, I have to remove the ".au" after google.com to get the links to work. Otherwise I get an error message. Is anyone else having this problem?
