This pedestrian signal with a gate has 8 inch LED lights. Also, not sure why the extra signal and gate for that driveway when all people can do there is turn right (away from the tracks).

8 inch LED's here too:

The location of the bells being above the lights is actually starting to become common. I'm assuming that it's louder down there.

Interesting set-up:

Hamilton, Illinois:

• A set of 8 inch lights being used to tell the engineer the signals are operating. Appears to still have their red lenses as well.

Ironically, both crossbucks are not very visible.

Yes... I thought the same thing! I thought the one in Birmingham was "home made" but it appears not.
