Those EM mechanisms and cantilevers are likely Safetran-made as well.

Judging by the position of the footbridge and the barrier, i guess that is the signal is mounted at on the other side. They wouldn't be able to put a light extension on it, as a truck or a bus could knock it off and damage it.

Looks like a young adult died at this crossing!

These sort of setups to WABCO AL-75's gate mechanisms just look horrible in my opinion. They look like budget crossing signals.

Based on all the trash lying on the tracks, I'd say it's a good chance that is abandoned.
