Those EM mechanisms and cantilevers are likely Safetran-made as well.

Kind of an odd setup.

Kind of an odd setup.

Judging by the position of the footbridge and the barrier, i guess that is the signal is mounted at on the other side. They wouldn't be able to put a light extension on it, as a truck or a bus could knock it off and damage it.

These searchlights look brand new for some reason.

Looks like a young adult died at this crossing!

These sort of setups to WABCO AL-75's gate mechanisms just look horrible in my opinion. They look like budget crossing signals.

Here is an interesting crossing, I'm not sure if it is abandon or not.

This nearby hand operated crossing is pretty interesting as well.

Based on all the trash lying on the tracks, I'd say it's a good chance that is abandoned.
