Well, was watching this documentary called Why Trains Crash, and one scene included the Lac-Megantic rail disaster, one scene shows a new railroad crossing slowly coming together. It has a base, and WCH Gate Mechs and gates i think?

The town is slowly picking up the pieces though, although lots of people died that night on July 6th 2013. Most people decided to move to better places. Because now it just looks like a small village.

Here is a story worth reading about on Wikipedia.

Obviously not, the fire must've burned the relay case. There is crossbucks at the crossing acting like a backup railroad crossing.
