I find it weird that there is a crossing right next to a ferry.

FRA violation

I kinda get irritated when i see mechanical bells facing forward (No, i don't have OCD, i just don't like the way they look when they are rotated)

I believe they're to help maintainers climb the signal, though I'm not sure. Also, that's a bit of an odd set-up there with an odd 3 Tracks sign on one signal:

Here's an interesting modification to a WRRS cantilever:

Looks like the piece that the lights are mounted on was literally rotated upside down!
