Thanks for sharing! That YouTube account has quite a few videos of crossings along this line, including this one that has all Lex-C lights:

And check out what happened at this crossing in the below video...

Not sure if this one has been posted before.
Cantilever crossing in Michigan with 12" and 8" GRS Lex-C lights. The mixture of light sizes on the mast signals looks a bit untidy.

Big thumbs down. Especially the one side with 8 and 12 inch combinations on both sides. I realize they are probably just using what they had available, but geez. Just move stuff around so at least the same size and type of lights are facing the same direction. I hate shoddy work!

I agree...it looks horrible!

the sad truth is that changing everything over to look good will likely never happen...too much effort.

Some old signals still in use:

This is odd:

How'd this happen?

A rather odd 4-way crossing with cantilevers placed on the wrong side of the road and extremely tall mast signals:
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6022848 ... 312!8i6656
And a no right turn light:

Some classic signals underneath an overpass:

Another classic signal at a nearby on-ramp:

More classic signals:

Also, old railroad bridge nearby?

Really long ped gates:

If I had to guess... at one time those bushes were not there, so the extra gate was to close the gap between the signal and the fence. Just a guess...

Here are some active crossings in San Diego.
