Also, a couple more RIGHT NEXT TO San Rafael station:

Unfortunately, their days are probably numbered, as SMART is currently upgrading this line.

At least the line is back alive. Though it is sad to see all of that classic equipment go.

Is that the line that goes through Santa Rosa? I remember that line had a lot of LED lights that with heads that were somehow rusting over.

https://www.google.com/maps/@40.9635526 ... 312!8i6656
(Still haven't found that other crossing yet though.)

EDIT: Looks like all of the ped gates at this crossing on Market Street in Lewisburg, PA, are wooden as well:

Personally didn't notice any damage to them, but it's likely due to them being on shortlines.

I noticed it immediately just from looking at the gate holders.
