An old RR sign near the crossing!

Another active crossing:

Sadly, the 8 inch lights and the MI(?) mechanical bell are gone:

Based on what I see, I think those might be 160° lenses in them! I don't think those are LED though.

Yea, those ain't LED. Haven't seen a single 8 inch LED that sticks out that far. They're 160° lenses, as Ethan said.
They/Them for me, please.
