I believe that's an old Monon line there, in which case, the signal on the left may have originally been one of the Monon's Fail-safe signals, like this one:

Did most of the Monon crossings that had a not so busy road traffic have signals like that?

I honestly have no idea, but I'd assume at least a small number of them did.

I wonder when the last one was taken out of service. The last one was probably located in some rural forested part of Illinois.
Conrail used relay cases like that a lot, and it seems like a lot of them were rather rusty. Not sure if they were made that way or what, but many ex-Conrail relay cases look like that.
That's a Harmon crossbuck, which does use a different front. Conrail was a huge user of them, though I have seen a few elsewhere. There is some evidence that CSX may have used them at one point.
LOL... Brick beat me by like 2 minutes! That is called a wedge snow plow that has obviously been sitting unused for a long time (due to the rust and vandalism). The first clip in the below shows one of them in action:

But Railroad archaeologists haven't confirmed it yet.
