Blame
Even when they want to go quiet, people are still playing chicken with them, a woman died last week at the crossing after she was struck by a train.

Why is SunRail to blame for something that CSX did before they sold the crossing?
Especially considering how normal of a trend it was between 2010-2013 for CSX to get rid of cantilevers at several of their crossings.

But why would they? I mean, considering the nearby intersection would've made it difficult for motorists to see the cantilever because of the masts. When CSX downgraded that crossing, sold the line, then started running mostly at night to make it easier for both Amtrak and SunRail, i just don't get it either, why couldn't they just rip out the old cantilever, and slip in another one?

Mast signals are probably easier to maintain if I had to guess.

Twas a nice early 1990s install before either way...
Also, it's worth noting that the new equipment installed by 2013 was to SunRail's specs, it appears.

If CSX wired those lights up the way lights mounted in those positions on a junction box typically are, then they'd likely be flashing together rather than alternating...

It's entirely possible that one of the signals is wired backwards to get an alternating pattern going.

True, but we won't know unless someone records it.
