Found FOUR at this out of service crossing in Arcata, California. It even had WABCO Triangle gate mechanisms!

Wow! :Ohmy: I would have loved to hear that crossing in action! A shame that it is abandon.

TONS of triangle gates along that line. Very nice! Would love to see this beauty in action as well:

Funny you should mention that. That crossing is at 4:43 in my video. My friend Andrew shot from the other side with one of the signals in his video.

Unfortunately don't have a location on this, but any railfan would be proud to have this in their yard...
