And here is the crossing in action with an awesome video of a steamer doing 70 MPH!

Based on the bases, the bells may be Griswolds too!

I posted that earlier in this thread, IIRC. It'll also be in the next update I'm doing to the site here in a few days. (Spoiler alert!)

Just wondering, but is that line still active?

It goes to a BASF facility so I see no reason why it would not be active.

Well, when you see stuff like this, then you really have to wonder...

Yes, the line is still active, but from what I understand, it rarely sees any traffic.

Came across this oddity... http://www.railpictures.net/photo/586809/

Not sure if it was for a road crossing or a pedestrian one. Unfortunately it is long gone...

Though technically not a crossing, this pier in Geelong has a Teardrop Bell that was used to alert workers of train movement (this line has been abandoned for years though). This is the best image I could find on Google Maps. The bell is mounted on the post, just above the yellow sign:
