This crossing has some unknown 12x20 inch lights. Believe it or not, they used Canadian crossbucks!

But by 2014, they were removed and replaced with cheap mechanically operated gates.

Very strange crossing, i don't think its working, since theres a worker standing with a STOP/GO sign.

There were also another crossing with Canadian crossbucks. For some strange reason, there were mechanically operated gates too.
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.555957 ... 6656?hl=en
However, by 2014 all of the equipment was removed.

This crossing has GS Type 2 bells! Safetran (?) 12x20 inch lights, and US&S Model 95 gate mechanisms!
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.637691 ... 6656?hl=en
However, they were later removed and replaced with cheap manually operated gates.
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.637687 ... 6656?hl=en
Whats this binbag for?
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.637687 ... 6656?hl=en
This is a very strange setup.
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.697480 ... 6656?hl=en
Judging by the sign, the crossing doesn't seem to be working.
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.697480 ... 6656?hl=en
Another strange setup, this crossing doesn't seem to be working too.
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.714216 ... 6656?hl=en
Same crossing, not working.
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.761843 ... 6656?hl=en
There is Canadian crossbucks on this crossing!
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.783381 ... 6656?hl=en
Quad gated setup.
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.813731 ... 6656?hl=en
This crossing actually works!
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.839667 ... 6656?hl=en
This manually operated crossing has a wigwag with a US&S/WABCO Teardrop bell, however it isn't working!
https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.979821 ... 6656?hl=en
These lights are facing the wrong way!
https://www.google.com/maps/@-34.139205 ... 6656?hl=en
There must've been wigwags or something here once upon a time.
https://www.google.com/maps/@-34.200735 ... 6656?hl=en
This crossing has a modern pair of modern manually operated gates.
https://www.google.com/maps/@-34.536566 ... 6656?hl=en
This crossing has a sign informing people that crossing guards are not available between 22:20 PM and 6:00 AM
https://www.google.com/maps/@-34.5873,- ... 6656?hl=en
This sign on a manually operated crossing says that crossing guards aren't available between 23:00 PM and 7:00 AM
https://www.google.com/maps/@-34.692080 ... 6656?hl=en
More Canadian crossbucks!
https://www.google.com/maps/@-34.710572 ... 6656?hl=en
Active crossing with Canadian crossbucks.
https://www.google.com/maps/@-34.799910 ... 6656?hl=en
This crossings bases are a tad too long.

I wonder if that crossbuck means something different with that square sign in the middle than one without that square sign, strange enough.
