Re: Locations of rotating banner signals on public crossings
I was actually trying to remember the name of the town (Hibbing) for a few days last week, but you guys beat me to it. We've actually touched on this about 5 years ago: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2356&hilit=hibbing
Be sure to click on the Flickr link at the bottom of the thread. That is actually a video that you will want to watch.

Any other Canadian rotating banners that exist?ToledoRailfan wrote: Wed Apr 26, 2017 1:17 pm Here are a pair in Fort Frances, Ontario along the border.

It appears that the first signal's banner is permanently in the same position, it looks like the other signal has had it's banner removed.
I wonder if these red rotary lights are an extra warning?
There is also an extra crossbuck at the crossing.
I like trains, railroad crossings and garbage trucks.
