This crossing in Patras, Greece was upgraded with WABCO AL-70s.

Here is the original crossing, this one is equipped with mechanisms of unknown make or origin.

Sometime between 2011 and 2014 it was replaced with this new setup.

This is a very interesting situation, i didn't know that WABCO still made AL-70s into this decade. Does anybody know if they are still in production?

I'm thinking that they were re-used. WABCO split up after breaking away from US&S years ago, with the rail-related portion becoming Wabtec, though Wabtec doesn't make crossing equipment, according to their site.

Interesting, has anybody located WABCO's last crossing install? Just curious.

AFAIK, no. And I wouldn't be surprised to find out that it's long since been replaced, anyways...

This crossing appears to be getting grade seperated.

Looks like the cantilevers never had lights on them either.

Kind of reminds me of a crossing in Memphis that has the same thing: https://www.google.com/maps/@35.1901964 ... 312!8i6656

Yea, I don't believe they ever did, especially due to where the crossbucks are mounted.

...Why is this gate light so close to its end gate light?

The real question is the bell mounting here.

Those aren't too unusual on the LIRR.

That style is common in New York state.
