British style wigwag signal (probably doesn't work) along with two manual gates in a remote town in Jordan.

These signals in Senegal look kinda sketchy. Better than nothing though.

Got these older signals of a different type down the line, I wonder if they work.

A little bit further down the line there is this crossing with French signals.

https://www.google.com/maps/@14.7976052 ... 6656?hl=en
https://www.google.com/maps/@14.7976075 ... 6656?hl=en

Looks like this is a gate mechanism.

Got some more signals of another type, they seem to be in good shape.
