That is a buckeye crossbuck setup. They were once common here in Ohio as they were kind of experimented here, but they've recently been rapidly disappearing. A couple days ago I made a post here about some crossings that were recently upgraded to a buckeye crossbuck setup which I thought was pretty interesting. One of the crossings was on an alley while the other one was for an entrance to a car park. There was also this one public crossing in Indiana that has a buckeye crossbuck setup and if I remember correctly, previous streetviews showed the crossing before it had a buckeye crossbuck, it is also pretty odd to see a buckeye crossbuck setup outside of Ohio.NathanFromEngland wrote:It was TrickyMario7654's idea.ToledoRailfan wrote:NathanFromEngland wrote:"Google.ca"freebrickproductions wrote:Active crossing:

Strange setup, it gets even more stranger as the gates practically get thinner.

Anyway, lets get back on topic instead of judging people of since what nationality they are.
Some interesting blood red crossbucks and a yield board.

Someone posted a photograph of that crossing signal to the railway crossings group on Facebook. It is pretty interesting! I think only one is operational. What probably happened was that when a bell died, the railroad was to lazy to remove them.NathanFromEngland wrote: What the heck? 3 bells, which one is operational?
