Franken-signals:

https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Hess+Roa ... -2.27&z=18

Why are these gates here?

Hey Brick, a Whelen behind the frankensignals:
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Hess+Roa ... 13.45&z=21

Yup. One of Columbus, OH's Whelens. They're Whelen 4004s I believe too.
You can also find one of Columbus's old Thunderbolts nearby as well:

I was gonna say it was a 4004 but then I thought it might be the Vortex. I don't know

Found a crossing with all GRS Lex-C 12x20" lights

Go forward two frames:
https://www.google.com/maps?ll=37.19211 ... ,1.56&z=19
https://www.google.com/maps?ll=37.19211 ... ,1.42&z=19
Here's the approaching train:
https://www.google.com/maps?ll=37.19211 ... ,0.93&z=19
Further forward:
https://www.google.com/maps?ll=37.19228 ... ,0.55&z=19
https://www.google.com/maps?ll=37.19228 ... ,2.39&z=19
https://www.google.com/maps?ll=37.19236 ... ,2.67&z=19
https://www.google.com/maps?ll=37.19236 ... -0.19&z=19
And this confirms my suspicion that the Google Street View car went right through the active crossing:

That's interesting to see Google went through that crossing twice while activated, because the ones you posted was from a different time (lane shift + different clouds in the sky)

It looks to me like the train was backing up: http://goo.gl/maps/2HIKW

The car in front of the Google car (waiting for the train in my link) is the same in your third link crossing the tracks. Plus, it looks as though the engine is further away in each picture as you move forward through the crossing.
