Actually, those appear to be RACO cantilevers.
Most likely yea. Depends on if you want to go there though.

That is a concern though, considering the snow is around 5 feet high, it can cause the gates to not lower fully, and most likely burn out the gate mechanisms motors.
Along with that though, when the snow melts, it can possibly damage the insides of the signal from the water

AFAIK that line isn't even used anymore. I think that is the old McCloud River Railroad.
