I want to say those are standard at many crossings in parts of Florida. Never seen any with double beacons before, though.
They/Them for me, please.

Looks like 8 inch WCH LEDs there! Wonder if there's any audible warning there? The signal appears to lack a bell...

Not only that, but that whole area has definitely gone through gentrification.

Found these WCH gate mechs right up the line with hinged gates and some of those mystery RECO-knock-off gate lights:

I posted those here a while ago, I assume that those gates lower when the trains aren't running.
