Non functioning is my guess. Looks like it is supposed to have another light above the sign as well.

You are right, I found out it did use to have another light.

Looks like the top one was the only one that worked. The signal flashing reguardles if there is a train or not.

Nice find! Its probably cheaper to just get the lights,bells and crossbuck without buying light brackets and build their own masts.

That is the first time I've seen a Double Crossing on a divided road quad gate setup.

The old signals are on the UP line in San Diego. And the new signals are on the MTS line.

You should see about going out there and getting some pictures of that crossing for the site.

That would be awesome... I'd like to see a video or two of how the crossings operate.
