However some great(and at that point enormous) things must come to an end:

Here's a pretty long set in North Carolina: https://www.google.com/maps/@35.116942, ... !2e0?hl=en

Both gates have pogo sticks. And obviously the lights and bells have been updated, but other than these signals have been here awhile it appears. The outer masts are the split type that we have talked about before... and the median masts are quite short.

Here is a picture of them in action which made me investigate: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.p ... 59&nseq=41

Here's a crossing with massive signals and long gates at it in Dickson, TN:

This is kind of off topic but this crossing (https://www.google.com/maps/@36.023211, ... !2e0?hl=en) is near the crossing you mentioned, the crossing near that crossing is on the site. http://www.rxrsignals.net/Tennessee/Dickson/Gas/

Here are some tall gates in Texas:

Orrville, Ohio...

not as tall as some, but taller than most. I think it used to be taller at one point in its life.

Came across this one last weekend on a trip to the Atlantic side of Florida: https://www.google.com/maps/@27.2207,-8 ... !2e0?hl=en

Longer than the telephone pole next to it!
