Yep.

Interesting RACO Cantilever:

If I were to guess, I'm thinking this MI cantilever was a replacement for a knocked down RACO Cantilever that was at the same crossing:

There are front and rear facing mast lights, but the overhead lights are just front only... same for the other.

I've seen several setups like that.

Looks like he was working on the gate.

Active Crossing(s) in Orlando, Florida.

I'm also judging that the nearby FCEN crossing acts as a crossing that prevents overflow resulting in traffic stopping on the tracks.

Here's a pretty useless signal for a right turn and the tracks are not involved with the right turn.

You never do your research do you?

Leftover signal from before the turn restriction was added. Railroad simply never took down the cantilever, that's all.
