Classic cantilever with split crossbuck!

Kind of an odd place to put the signal.

This crossing has some very interesting signals! It appears that they are pedestrian signals?

Edit: Sorry David, I didn't realize that you had posted the same crossings from Tremont, PA. I copied an pasted this post from my drafts and submitted it to this thread before I looked at your posts. Talk about a strange quiescence though!

Oh Seth and David, y'all always seem to be in sync.

Excellent finds from the both of y'all!

The split crossbucks are also cast-iron, which I personally find rather cool.

Also, these signals were pedestrian signals that the Reading did back in the day, especially in areas with high volumes of pedestrians and/or near stations, IIRC:

Interesting cantilever.

Reminds me of these from my hometown:

Active shots! Appears the Google car drove into the parking lot for some reason.

I'm willing to bet those signs light up with some message when there is a 2nd train coming from the opposite direction.

Those were EM gate mechs.

Also, interesting addition to the top of one of them. Maybe the bell was originally located here?

And before anyone says anything, yes this crossing is on the site.

Traffic light wig-wag in Hele, UK. No idea if it's still there.

Doesn't look like it though from the nearby M5, which has newer imagery showing the crossing in action!

Kind of an odd way to mount the stop signs and crossbucks!

I'm not even sure if that's FRA or even MUTCD-legal.
