Theres also a tornado siren next to this crossing, because i know absolutely nothing about tornado sirens, maybe you can fill me in on what tornado siren it is?

ACA Allertor siren.

This signal has 2 7'inch gate lights!
https://www.google.com/maps/@32.7711778 ... 6656?hl=en

There probably use to be three but one got damaged and was replaced with one of those weird UP gate lights.

The new gate light is actually a WCH LED gate light.

Ah, I forgot that... that style of gate light is made by more than one manufacturer.

You've also got Union Pacific.

What?

I didn't mean UP, UP make those hexagon shaped gate lights.
Aurora makes the gate lights similar to WCH, but they're red.

Those are WCH gate lights that are red. Aurora/Alstom LED gate lights are clear/white when not lit up.

These signals in Emmett, Idaho look odd without mast crossbucks.

Interesting double (two-gated) crossing in Wellington, Ohio. I don't understand why they couldn't have made it two separate crossings.
The equipment as the crossing(s) is pretty nice though!

There is some nice railroad equipment near the crossing(s) as well! Along with the depot!

Close enough for a double crossing if you ask me. After all, the two tracks converging together is not to far away as well:

Here is a bent E-Bell in Fort Erie, Ontario!.. I had to get several views of it on streetview as I couldn't tell if it just looked like that because of how two images were stitched together.

https://www.google.com/maps/@42.947757, ... 6656?hl=en
At first what made me convinced even more that it was just two images stitched together causing that is because in one streetview, the other signal looks bent due to two images being stitched together.

But the first one's you posted even look more odd because of the track # sign still being on the mast.

Yea, that is what struck me the most (along with the emergency number sign) as the signals in Toledo don't have those where the crossbucks would be. The ones that you just shared are pretty odd as well due to the gate equipment being in front of the signals, I assume that there aren't mast crossbucks there because of that.

Looks like it was hit by something... like a larger truck that got a little too close. Been like that back to 2009 at least.

If it still works, then why fix it?
