Older Safetran mech? Seems to have the headquarters branding on it.

As for the bells, they appear to be RACO bells as well!
Yup, some very late RACO/early Safetran stuff there. That was the first design of cover that the Safetran gate mechs ever used!
They/Them for me, please.

A road in The Netherlands that was upgraded, then a few years later, a tram line was built and a crossing was installed at the intersection.
2009.

After a upgrade to the road in 2014.

Looking down both ends of the tracks in August 2015 (They weren't there just yet, but ballast had been laid on one side)

The crossing at first was a temporary installation, but using the gates that you get on crossings in Germany!
https://www.google.com/maps/@52.0729945 ... 312!8i6656

By 2019, the actual crossing had been installed.

The next crossing down is protected by traffic signals.

Nice catch right in front of the former Amtrak station there. It would be nice to see the Sunset Limited resume service through there in the future.
Crossing pictures from Plant City, FL are finally here! viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2538
