I don't get it though, they look identical to early PEEK heads,

Crouse-Hinds is defunct. Those are the same molds that were probably handed down to Traffic Control Technologies (TCT), which later became known to be as Peek.

Also, Crouse-hinds Type Rs were made into the 80s, it turns out.

Another thing to note: Crouse-Hinds also made street luminaires, however that business had been spun off into Cooper Industries.

What's this supposed to be?

An old stop sign (1950/60's?) and a 45 degree crossbuck.

Active crossing.

I believe it's related to the high school right there, which uses the Wildcats as their mascot:

Here in England, we don't have mascots.

All we have are just GCSE exams and having to use the method of public transportation (Unless you have special needs you can get school buses, academys and some other schools i know have school buses)

Who manufactured these signals?
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.2105708 ... 312!8i6656

A wigwag and a steam locomotive.
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.3770386 ... 312!8i6656

RACO canteliever.
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.6132795 ... 312!8i6656

A WRRS canteliever, whatever railroad that owns this appear to be getting to the bells before GSV come looking.

Both were made by WRRS. Bells were likely installed by NS before they sold-off the line.
