Those are technically not traffic signals though. Just some beacons that alternate flashing.
Also in that first link is two pairs of Kentron beacons and some old beacon facing the side road.

Yea, they appear to be T-con/Kentron 8 inch beacons in the first two links, with an old Eaglelux beacon facing the side road (quite possibly the last single-face Eaglelux signal in the state as well if Gadsden's replaced their last one). Also, one of the T-con/Kentron beacons was damaged between 2014 and 2016!

Looks like it still had the lens earlier in the year though:

What a lovely repair job...

Yep. I noticed that when I switched from the older view to the newer views as I originally posted those in Google Maps Scavenger Hunt back in October of 2015. I wonder if those signals still work?

Electrical tape if I am seeing it correctly?

Wonder if the signal facing the removed track still works?

I also wonder why the signals facing the tracks have four sections...

Here's an article about a traffic light protected crossing I found.

I think I've seen inages of that crossing pop up every now and then. Definitely a very unique crossing!
