Here is the original crossing, this one is equipped with mechanisms of unknown make or origin.

Sometime between 2011 and 2014 it was replaced with this new setup.

This is a very interesting situation, i didn't know that WABCO still made AL-70s into this decade. Does anybody know if they are still in production?
I'm thinking that they were re-used. WABCO split up after breaking away from US&S years ago, with the rail-related portion becoming Wabtec, though Wabtec doesn't make crossing equipment, according to their site.
Interesting, has anybody located WABCO's last crossing install? Just curious. :Grin:
AFAIK, no. And I wouldn't be surprised to find out that it's long since been replaced, anyways...

Looks like the cantilevers never had lights on them either.

Kind of reminds me of a crossing in Memphis that has the same thing: https://www.google.com/maps/@35.1901964 ... 312!8i6656

Yea, I don't believe they ever did, especially due to where the crossbucks are mounted.

Those aren't too unusual on the LIRR.

That style is common in New York state.
