Sorry if these have been posted on the site somewhere before, but the tramway at The Grove, Los Angeles has a couple of Wig Wags:

These appear to be custom made and not "real" units form a railroad.

Wow, those signals almost look like they could be operating on battery power!

I think it's just the angle of the shot:

Incandescent Harmon lights just might not be that bright though:

Yeah, I kinda figured it was on AC power when I moved forward and saw the bungalow up ahead

That's weird though. I wonder why the relay case there got replaced by a bungalow, but not the signals.

Either it got damaged by a car, or CSX just felt like replacing it. Oddly enough, other than the gate mechanisms (and possibly the bell), the signals look to be a late 1990s/early 2000s CSX set-up. The gate mechanisms replaced some WCH gate mechs sometime between 2009 and 2011.

Also, here's an active crossing in NSW, Australia:

Nice find, that crossing was recently upgraded with gates.
