It's quite possible that work truck was within the range to activate the crossing. And if it was in motion, it'd keep the crossing active.

Active crossing in Naperville, IL:

Found a WABCO AL-70 & Teardrop Bell in Maipu, Chile.

There's an active crossing just 1 street over.

Interesting how this crossing used a Canadian-style crossbuck

Alstom gate mech there as well:

The installation also reminds me of the signals in Spain.

Looks like the road was once two-way as well:

Going over another crossing finds us this unique old signal, though based on the sign on the signal, it doesn't work:

Another active Spanish-style crossing, with some more of those old signals that also appear to be abandoned in place:

And a closer look at the train activating the crossing:

And continuing up the line, we find these interesting solar-powered "signals" at a rural crossing:

It appears that the lights flash continuously regardless of if a train is nearby or not, likely working the same way as putting a beacon at a crossing here in the US.

One-signal wonder:

Active crossing with BNSF jail cell Autoracks.
