Standardization.

Also, from what I've heard, those EM gate mechs are a PITA to work on.

Kind of interesting how the top lights (facing away from the crossing) on this signal are side lights.

I've also seen plenty of comments from signal maintainers in Facebook groups complaining about having to maintain EM gate mechs.

Quite weird to have a canteliever for a side road instead of a gated signal (That'd be unnessecary due to the fact you can simply turn right)
