These crossbucks remind me of those Model Power crossing signals, it also the first time I've heard of crossbucks that say "RAILROAD CROSSING" outside of the United States except for some crossbucks on the Canadian part of the White Pass and Yukon Route.

I guess this is a new way of doing "CROSSING RAILROAD"!

Not sure if this has been posted before, but here's another WABCO bell in Tampa:

A set of triangle gates and teardrop bells on a Union Pacific spur Halsey, Oregon: https://www.google.com/maps/@44.377165, ... 312!8i6656


The same spur continues west to connect with Portland & Western's ex-Oregon Electric line, but the central section, including another crossing with triangle gates just a short distance away, is out of service: https://www.google.com/maps/@44.3780271 ... 312!8i6656

Long Island City has these two crossings going

Kind of interesting advance warning signs for these crossings.

Odd setup.

That crossbuck looks fairly new! I wonder what used to be there, whether it replaced an older standard crossbuck or perhaps a cats-eyed one.

Google caught this crossing in Ilion (suburb of Athens) active three times!.

You would think these YYR signals would operate like the kind you would see here in the US but they actually act as an indication that the crossing is functioning properly, just like signals in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Belgium ect.

There is also this interesting side gate for the crossing.
