There used to be a lot more crossings in town, but most have closed, becoming dead ends, or overpasses. With a history that goes as far in the past as ours does, it's hard to tell what's origional and what's not, but as far as I can tell, that cantilever-gate setup is the origional.
Well, i checked the FRA's inventory record, and according to it, the two gates and the cantilever have always been there. The inventory goes a bit haywire as after the first record, the mast flasher amount goes from 2 to 8, but I guess the gate/cantilever is the origional.

My crossing has two, but the clearest photo only shows one of the signals.
Am I out?
