US&S appear to have been tinted, based on the few that have been found. Don't think LEDTronics ever got any use.
They/Them for me, please.

Active crossing with Amtrak 37 passing. Seems to be missing its door.

Another active crossing, No train horn. :aaargh:
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.3118145 ... 6656?hl=en
Unnecessary need for a signal.
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.2678705 ... 6656?hl=en
:Confused:
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.2477335 ... 6656?hl=en
FRA violation.
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.2451771 ... 6656?hl=en
Nice RACO/Griswold cantilever, but those Safetran 12x24 lights do not look the part.
WABCO Model 95's.
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.2470403 ... 6656?hl=en
Conrail relay case which was weirdly enough, painted white.
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.2529302 ... 6656?hl=en
How to waste money 101.
Replace Griswold Mechanical Bells with GS Type 2's.
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.2533339 ... 6656?hl=en
Then, replace the gate mechanisms along with their bases, and put Safetran type 3's on both sides.
