weatherdan882002 wrote:IDK if it was an upgrade or not - it may be the origional. But our city has a BIG train past, which is sadly only a shadow of what it used to be. There used to be a lot more crossings in town, but most have closed, becoming dead ends, or overpasses. With a history that goes as far in the past as ours does, it's hard to tell what's origional and what's not, but as far as I can tell, that cantilever-gate setup is the origional.
Well, i checked the FRA's inventory record, and according to it, the two gates and the cantilever have always been there. The inventory goes a bit haywire as after the first record, the mast flasher amount goes from 2 to 8, but I guess the gate/cantilever is the origional.

Yes... I made mention of that at the begining of this month. The above quote is on the original post from Caltrain.

My crossing has two, but the clearest photo only shows one of the signals.

Am I out?
