I'm not sure if this has been posted here before but streetview came through the crossing in Madison that use to have the strange large gates.

Those were B&B ARMR gates.

The crossing you're probably thinking of is Whitney Way, and not Washington Avenue as well. However, the ones there are gone too.

Aren't all of them gone?

The only other crossing I know of that had them was one somewhere in Alabama, and I'm not sure on that one.

I forgot about that one. I'm not sure if David has added it to the site yet.

Here's in interesting setup. 6 Masts, all have WCH E-bells. 4 main gates for the road and 2 ped gates. I call it "the noise machine".

Wow! I wonder why they felt the need to have every signal have a bell.
This one gate at the crossing used to be pretty bent!

There are some nice search lights there!

The signals also have those weird gate lights.

Those are Union Pacific Gate Lights.
