I have to wonder if the signals activate when there is a train on the national track? (Edit: I don't think it does. https://www.google.com/maps/@35.1367517 ... 6656?hl=en) I don't understand why they didn't just go with normal crossing signals, it wouldn't be as interesting though, I'm not saying that it wouldn't be an interesting setup with normal signals either as that crossing is pretty interesting without the signals as well. I'm curious about the wayside signals.
And before anyone says anything, I do realize that this post is over three years old.
Agreed. If I had to guess it's due to the curve in the road (to make it more visible)... but the back lights on the cantilever should take care of that.
Found this pedestrian signal in San Diego, CA. It only has one light, even though it has a "regular" light mount. It also has it's own mechanical bell even though both cantilevers have e-bells.
