Nice finds! I don't think I've seen wishbone gates in New Zealand before.

Are these fire alarm bells?

They might be. Some countries in Europe have used bells like that on their crossings before, like Belgium, for example.

Odd setup.

Classic signals with two teardrop bells! Unfortunately the signals have since been replace. I still think this is a cool crossing even without the classic signals even though I wish they were still there.
