They still have the original backgrounds as well!

Looks like they just placed plastic Safetran 12x24" backgrounds on them... wonder why?

Maybe they somehow thought that the lights had a visibility problem?

Probably had them lyin' around in a storage lot somewhere and Conrail decided that they would be cheaper to put up than getting a can of paint from the store.

Well... whatever the reason, I think it looks ugly!

There are quite a few of those around... especially on the west coast. I don't think that any of those older ones are still in service... at least as a regular school bus though.

There's a setup like this on Heatherton Road, Noble Park in Victoria, although it's gonna be removed as part of the 'Andrews Government's Level Crossing Removal Program'.
