Those were B&B ARMR gates.

The crossing you're probably thinking of is Whitney Way, and not Washington Avenue as well. However, the ones there are gone too.
Aren't all of them gone?

The only other crossing I know of that had them was one somewhere in Alabama, and I'm not sure on that one.

Here's in interesting setup. 6 Masts, all have WCH E-bells. 4 main gates for the road and 2 ped gates. I call it "the noise machine".

Wow! :Blink: I wonder why they felt the need to have every signal have a bell.
This one gate at the crossing used to be pretty bent!
