This is a weird feature, i'm guessing this is mean't to hold the bell in place if it was to be struck by a vehicle.

IIRC, it's meant to help project the bell sound onto the crossing. Certainly weird though.
Yep, that was my first thought too. They could also be there to block the sound from being loud to the businesses and residencies nearby, too.

Nice find...the crossbuck definitely is not original. However, all of that is gone as the crossing has been closed off. :Sad:

NO IT IS NOT. I've already had to tell you this at least two times already, the stop sign is protecting the intersection, NOT the crossing!

Also, both the traffic and railroad crossing signals weren't even fully activated either. :Roll:
