I don't think I've seen 12x20" RACO lights before.

That cantilever is a bit odd.

Not sure what's odd about the cantilever other than it being a 1980s Safetran cantilever.

That bell is pretty slow! :Blink:

Greece typically uses the same equipment and the United States and Canada. I posted here a while ago a crossing with a different kind of equipment in the outskirts of Athens.

In EBA e-bell housings, no less!

Also, one of the WCH mechanicals at the first crossing that was posted is missing the gong! :Eeeeek:

Crossing with bells like that in Greece typically do that, i don't know why. One of the crossing bells there are dead since its gong is missing.

Welp, this is surprising.

Safetran 8 inch lights, Safetran Gate Mechanisms and Safetran Mechanical Bells!

It seems that they got some crossing equipment from AZD! (AZD is a company based in the Czech Republic)

Geez! Next we'll find out that Greece has an NRS or Unipart Rail wig-wag at a crossing there! :Ohmy:
